SUPAFRICO 4: THE SOUND OF FUNKY AFRICA by V/A

Number four in the highly Supafrico series, this Afro-funk treat will not disappoint.A decidedly upbeat compilation, it kicks off with the dope 1980 afro-style disco corker, �Musicland� from NYC-based one-hit-wonders Clymax. An energetic boogie drum beat, soaring synths and an incessantly funky bassline makes this an A-class lesson in Afro-hedonism. Next up �I Feel Funky� from Harry Mosco has you hooked from the first deeply groovy bass lick. Featuring a captivatingly heady synth solo, this track, taken from the 1978 �Country Boy (Mr. Funkees)� LP, is a dancefloor must-have. Flip over for the flute driven afro-disco belter, Tirogo�s �Dancing Machine�. Joyous horns intersperse the chugging beats whilst the hot Afro vocals pay homage to the Jackson 5 classic of the same name. Finally, Bebe Manga�s �Lokognolo� gives you layer upon layer of slick slap guitar, big basslines and acid-tinged synths with Bebe smothering the whole lot in a creamy vocal topping.
