Erykah Badu/New Amerykah

2008-03-27T03:16:00.000-07:00

Erykah steps up this time with a set that balances the wilder impulses of her criminally underappreciated Worldwide Underground and more of a Hip Hop based, righteously grooving style, but still bursts with a freshness that's unrivaled to say the least. From free spirited Soul, to sparse Hip Hop Funk this record is both blunt and beautiful, with a slow-building emotional resonance that'll reac

The Budos Band

2008-03-26T04:34:00.000-07:00

The Budos Band is the quintessence of Staten Island Soul. Their exciting new afro-influenced take on instrumental music has been captivating listeners at gigs across the Tri-State area. Eleven pieces in all, their group consists of drums, bass, guitar, electric organ, two trumpets, baritone saxophone, and a percussion section employing bongos, congas, tambourine, guiro, clave, shekere and cowbell. Their music has been described as “compelling”, “unbridled”, “psychedelic”, “innovative”, and above all “soulful.” However, like many majestic things, their sound had humble beginnings.

MR BIG MOUTH(Afro Beat)-Low Profile

These four sides of classic 1970s afrobeat vinyl from Nigeria recover two great albums that might well have been lost to history. Though produced by Fela with perhaps the strongest band of his three-decade-plus career, these tracks let trumpeter Tunde Williams and baritone sax man Lekan Animashaun take the microphone while the maestro assumes the role of sideman. Tunde Williams' "Mr Big Mouth" slinks in with the familiar, restless sizzle of hi-hat and feathery funk of strummed electric guitar building to a tuneful blare of horns. Williams can't match Fela's bluster but he's got an edge of his own as he slams the corruption of Lagos contractors. The vocal is memorable, but it's the spot-on music and arranging that makes this grade-A afrobeat. William's B-Side, "The Beginning," is a slow and moody instrumental, contrasting lush brass section passages with an eloquent trumpet solo. Williams was truly one of the most talented soloists Fela ever worked with. He left Africa 70 in 1978, and this album fell victim to a dispute between Fela and his label, Decca. So we're lucky to have it.
Lekan "Baba Ani" Animashaun, Fela's baritone man to the end, is also a better instrumentalist than singer, but it is fascinating to hear his lithe, slightly nasal voice weaving through the punchy replies of the band's trademark female chorus. These two numbers--"Low Profile" and "Severe"--have a fractured history. First recorded in 1979 during the dark days following the Nigerian army raid on Fela's compound, they were not finished until 1986, and released only in 1995, to little fanfare. The songs were often played at Fela's Africa Shrine in Lagos, though, and much loved by the city's diehard afrobeat fans. "Severe" has a big, satisfying sound, and an exquisitely wailing baritone sax solo. In all, this release is an indispensable addition to the growing catalogue of historic afrobeat.

Fire Tongue and Chief cook-Wayo bring War

2008-02-18T02:10:00.000-08:00

Afrique > Cameroon, Nigeria > Fire Tongue and Chief Cook
Fire Tongue and Chief CookBorn in Cameroon in 1971, Fire Tongue plays guitar, keyboards and accordion since the age of 6. After growing up in Yaoundé where he learned jazz with his guitar teacher, Fire Tongue leaves for Nigeria where he discovers Fela Kuti and his vaster field of expression that seduces him. In 1995, he meets Rex Lossen, Etienne T-Boy, Geraldo Pino and plays the first part of Fela Kuti show. Fire Tongue forms T-Boy with Etienne (Gold Album in Africa) and moves to Paris where he plays in prestigious venues such as New Morning, Divan du Monde, Flèche d’Or … In 2002 Discograph releases their maxi vinyl “Bring Peace”. At the recording sessions the encounter with the sound engineer was very important and ended up with the sound engineer actively participating in the recording of this work, a very genuine but modern afro beat, that goes from blues to dub, from afro beat to electro the whole of it preserving an original purity in its musical conception. Fire tongue depth and fluent music has given a new life to afro beat, Fire Tongue is a new sensation that brings together tradition and modernity
