der nigerianische musiker fela kuti gilt als begründer des afrobeat. das label knitting factory legt nun verschiedene werke aus dem backcatalogue als neue vinyl-edition vor. diese entstammen ursprünglich dem von brian eno zusammengestellten set -vinyl box 3/compiled by brian eno- und waren einzeln nicht erhältlich. schwarzes vinyl / 180g. 1973 entstanden, ist -gentleman- der direkte vorläufer zum legendären album -alagbon close- - und alle zutaten des legendären afrobeat sind hier schon perfekt angelegt. thematisch pendelt das album zwischen kolonialismus (das titelstück) und persönlichen erlebnissen. -fefe naa efe- zelebriert die Überwindung von herzschmerz, während -igbe- (zu deutsch -scheiße-) durchdekliniert, wann ein menschen -scheiße- handelt: von verrat bis zur mangelnden selbstachtung ist die rede.

sababa 5 continues their musical journey following the success of their acclaimed self-titled debut album, which fused deep funk and middle eastern grooves.

formed of laura lee on bass, mark speer on guitar, and donald “dj” johnson on drums, khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. their 2015 debut album ‘the universe smiles upon you’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the texan countryside. ‘con todo el mundo’ takes inspiration not just from south east asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the mediterranean and the middle east, particularly iran.

between electronic music and traditional indian music, dive into the heart of this subtle mix thanks to the leading artists of the genre!

as always in the usual quality!

filhos de zambi is uptempo samba-funk of the highest order, and now very difficult to find at a decent price in it’s original rca ’compacto’ format. percussion high on the mix, hands claps and a brilliant harmonised chorus line.
