Good grooves,

This review is from: Afro-Rock Volume 1 (Audio CD)
I'm pretty picky, but this album is good. If you like those smooth African translations of U.S. funk, soul- you'll enjoy this.

It;'s great,
This review is from: Afro-Rock Volume 1 (Audio CD)
Gritty, authentic, powerful, soulful afro-rock. These were people that sung and played to often make an editorial on their living conditions and political situations. The songs all have feeling. I think track number 5 is the best on the CD. If you like this CD, check out the best of Fela Kuti. Enjoy.

This review is from: Afro-Rock Volume 1 (Audio CD)
One of the best, and most consistent of the current crop of afrobeat collections, rare old stuff mostly from the 1970s. The companion disc to the "HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY - AFRICAN STOMP" compilation, this features several songs with wild, unusual melodic hooks, and long, loping grooves. Some of the tunes are just plain kooky, like Geraldo Pino's "Heavy Heavy Heavy," and Steele Beautttah's "Africa," while others, such as K. Frimpong's "Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'Awu," have killer grooves a mile and half deep. A couple of tunes were never released on vinyl, and all the tracks on here are pretty cool. A lot of "new," different-sounding music -- highly recommended!
