 █       Yossi Fine, bass player, producer and ringleader of the lucid        █
 █       Ex-Centric Sound System, has bridged an amazing breadth of           █
 █       African-based sounds - traditional Ghana and West African            █
 █       drumming, Afro-Caribbean dance rhythms, Jamaican dancehall           █
 █       vocals and American hip-hop beats and production - to create a       █
 █       thorough, detailed exploration of groove music. In the mere 45       █
 █       minutes that West Nile Funk encompasses, it may well take            █
 █       dozens of listens to unravel the thick layers to find all of         █
 █       what lies beneath. The good news is you'll want to spin the          █
 █       disc that often, as you'll be dancing to each global rotation.       █

 █       planet with the heritages of each player, let alone                  █
 █       musicality. Israel, Ghana, Morocco and West India all figure         █
 █       in, but their uniqueness lies in the integrity of floor-             █
 █       stomping dance rhythms worked inside bouncing lines of               █

 █       Ex-Centric knows how to let a beat ride itself patiently             █
 █       ("Djibo") or get straight to the point ("The Original Ragga").       █
 █       The album is hard-hitting ("Ebae") but not afraid to chill out       █
 █       ("West Nile Funk"). The 10 tracks cover ground vast as the           █
 █       instrumentation and influences it was born of, finding               █
 █       coherency and continuity with it's innate ability to dig up          █
 █       raw roots music and splatter them against new landscapes. The        █
 █       ritual is not blasphemed, but given new birthright:                  █
