Mixing the funeral music of the Lo-Birifor people of northern Ghana, and jazz improvisation, with a Nordic touch. The debut was on ECM; one more, Praise Drumming, on the Swedish Dragon label.
Some slavering monster killers here, the Colombians for example, and all beautifully presented. A moving, mind-boggling testament to Afrobeat, with shout-outs from Ghana, Trinidad, the US and elsewhere.
The first two of their six albums — Chapter One (1973) and Phases (1975) — groundblazing, out-there Afro rock.
The celebrated afro-rock LP has never sounded better. Properly remastered from the original tapes. 'B for 'funky guitar', L for 'thunder drumming', O for 'smoothy bass', its says on the cover, mystifyingly.
Music from the Second Republic, twenty-three years of military dictatorship ended, at the crest of Nigeria's oil boom. Good-times disco-soul shuffle, mixing in jazz-funk, synth pop and Afro vibes.
Kicking New Orleans / Afrobeat onslaughts from Benin. Great to see Roswell Rudd guesting.
Politically engaged Afro-soul from the start of the 1970s. You'll just have to imagine the 'bare torsos, cowrie shells, shaved heads, and non-stop undulations of the trio of dancers, The Sweet Things'.
Brilliant, jacking, extended, improvisatory, ancient dance music played at the initiation of diviners (drugged with jolonthi, to ward off spells) on a twelve-blade xylophone with calabash resonators.
A late-70s Nigerian blend of Kool And The Gang, Mandrill, and the Ohio Players... with a Moog synthesizer thrown in for good measure.
