just in time for summer, nuspirit serve up the red hot and
relentlessly funky "makoomba breaksö project, a breath taking
exploration of afro-cuban and latin rhythms that serves as yet
another example of this bandÆs vision, versatility and
musicianship. "makoomba" (a1) is a firing twelve minute afro funk
explosion where thick, smokey changa changa guitar riffs, tireless
polyrhythmic percussion grooves, soaring flute solos, melodic,
uplifting horns and cool scatt style vocals combine to send the
listener on a soaring subtropical journey. proper nu school afro
vibes that would make fela, femi and all of their wives, widows,
band and family members very proud. flip to the b-side and the
pan-african celebration continues with "afro-cuban haze" (b1) a
completely revamped version of their standout track from the
mundial muzique album. here, the boys enlist a virtual united
nations of top flight musicans to turn out this afro-cuban
classic. ten plus minutes of unadulterated afro-funk fusion
complete with live percussion, flutes, drums, bass, trombone,
clavinette and guitars. caliente! a veritable diasopora of beats
served up "straight no chaser style" live and direct from helsinki
finland .believe it or not! be on the lookout for the nuspirit
helsinki album dropping later this year and catch their live show
if you can, these cats are definately a force to be reckoned with.
