really wonderful stuff -- a collection of totally unique grooves
that won't cross over with any of your other african funk
compilations! the focus here is on jazz, not funk or soul -- and
the set features a wealth of great tracks pulled from obscure
south african records of the late 70s and early 80s. funky fusion
is definitely in command here -- and the overall feel of the
tracks is similar to some of the best european funky fusion of the
70s, fused with elements of african percussion and instrumentation
-- creating a true crossover of styles that crackles with a
freshness that will have you coming back to this one again and
again! most tracks are instrumental -- and the grooves here are a
lot more complicated than on your average james brown-inspired
african funk tracks, a mix of strident modal modes, and other
choppier funkier riff-heavy tunes. plus, the whole thing's put
together with the righteous intelligence of all the other
counterpoint titles -- with great notes, incredible sound, and an
approach that will easily take you to a whole new musical world!
titles include "i remember you" by mike makahalemele, "half n
half" by zacks nkosi, "chapita" by dick khoza, "lament" by
movement in the city, "blues for yusef" by lionel pillay, "the way
it used to be" by pacific express, and "la i la i la" by george
lee larnyoh.
