SUPAFRICO 6 - THE SOUND OF FUNKY AFRICA by V/A
Description
Camp Supafrico return with the sixth edition in their ‘Sound of Funky Africa’ series.Side A features the über-rare 1984 Shina Williams and His African Percussionists ‘Agboju Logun’, grooving along for a massive eleven and a half minutes, this super-heavy Nigerian disco cut splices raw sounding horns with choirs and chants. Seriously epic.
Flip over for ‘Don’t Do It’ from Bongi Makeba, an afro-funk workout with her powerful voice weaving in and out of the grooving bass and spaced-out sax.
Last up is the sought-after ‘Mangous Ye’ from Black Soul. Originally the B-side of a 1976 release on tiny but top-quality NYC label Beam Junction, this Tom Moulton mixed slice of high-octane percussion-soaked afro-disco hit big on Italy’s Cosmic scene as well as the clubs of New York. Ano
