the millenium power pop...
U-Cef biog by Andy Morgan
Clandestinos have to travel light. There's little space in their kit bags for anything other than hopes, dreams, memories and music. That was pretty much all U-cef, aka Moulay Youssef Adel, had to declare when he arrived in the USA from his native Morocco back in the late 1980s. In the following years faith kept him suspended just above the starvation line and immigrant courage earned him a foothold in the New York music scene. It was a meagre one at first but with persistence it solidified and grew, especially after a move to London in 1994.
