African Brothers / V/A / Taylor, Ebo / Uppers International : Afrobeat airways 2

'Return Flight To Ghana 1974-1983'. From the coastal cities of Accra and Cape Coast, basked in a tropical sound heavily influenced by highlife, to the semi-Saharan cities of Tamal and Bolgatanga (part of a self-proclaimed Islamic Funk Belt) via the central city of Kumasi, Analog Africa has criss-crossed Ghana in search of rare tracks for the 'Afrobeat Airways' series. Following the success of the first instalment in 2009, Analog Africa now presents the second volume, offering a selection of 13 ultra-rare tracks composed by some of the musical giants who had created a movement that rocked the West African nation throughout the '70s. Featured are legendary singer K. Frimpong, Nana Ampedu (leader of the mighty African Brothers Band), Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and his superb guest appearance with The Complex Sounds, afrobeat star Ebo Taylor, backing his son in an unreleased track called 'Children Don't Cry', the enigmatic Rob and his unique blend of twisted afrofunk, innovative drummer De Frank and Uppers International, with their raw Islamic funk style. At the same time more obscure artists such as Los Issufu & his Moslems, Waza Afriko 76 and Tony Sarfo & His Funky Afrosibi make their northern hemisphere debuts, adding to a rich list of Ghanaian artists whose music could be transferred seamlessly to any dancefloor in the world. Three years in the making, the accompanying 44-page booklet of 'Afrobeat Airways 2' features an introductory essay written by Afropop Worldwide editor Banning Eyre, exploring the development of soul, funk and Afrobeat during the '60s and '70s in Ghana. The remaining 30 pages are packed with interviews and biographies of the artists and producers involved in the creation of this wonderful music. Additionally, the Analog Africa team have managed to track down the photographers of the famous Modern Photo studios, located at the front of Accra's legendary Tip Toe, a venue notorious for organizing unforgettable dance competitions, Miss Tip Toe contests and the most in-demand highlife and Afrobeat gig...

Onyeabor, William : World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor?

2013 collection from the Nigerian Funk musician. in the early 21st century, a shadowy figure rose from the dust that settled atop forgotten record collections throughout Africa, leaving behind a trail of clues in what seemed like a wild goose chase, but on this release, Luaka Bop will unmask the great William Onyeabor!

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo : Volumen 3: "the skeletal essences of afro funk"

CD with 44-page booklet. Take funk, soul, psychedelia and rumba, mix it up with a thick dose of heavy local rhythms and throw everything in a Benin grinder. The brew is then mixed up with hypnotic Farfisa solos, gritty guitar riffs, distorted bass lines, warm horns and the result, of exorcizing proportion, will lead to frenetic body movements. Some people bang their heads, others jerk their feet or feel an urgent need to get up and start shaking their hips. One thing is common though, to everyone who submits their ears to a spinning record by the mighty Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou: you simply can't stand still. And this new compilation is proof of that. Here are 14 funky tracks by the legendary ensemble from Benin that has been deemed as "West-Africa's best kept secret," or as the "The D.N.A. of voodoo groove". Following two previous Poly-Rythmo collections released by multiple award winner label Analog Africa - 'The Vodoun Effect' (2008) and 'Echos Hypnotiques' (2009) - this third compilation is another proof that our ears are facing "one of the funkiest bands in the world". Starting in 2005, Samy Ben Redjeb, Analog Africa's founder and compiler, made several trips to Benin, where he dug up most of the orchestra's output recorded between 1969 and 1983: hundreds of vinyl records and a few master tapes, in a total of 500 songs! With all that material in hands and the astonishing richness of the group's meterial, choosing the songs proved to be a tough task. Therefore, it seems only natural that it has taken a few years for this third volume to come out of Analog Africa's sonic treasure trove. The 14 tracks presented here have never been issued outside of Africa and most of them follow the spirit and sound of the first volume, 'The Vodoun Effect', which was a selection of songs released by small and obscure labels from this tiny country which was once known as Dahomey. Some of the songs presented here were recorded using a legendary piece of equipment, a Swiss made Nagra reel-to-reel recorder and one or two...
