There's a really good new album called Afroganic by brit producer Kwame who went back to his family's origins in Ghana and hooked up with street musicians to make a house/disco record...

The Russ Dewbury comps mentioned in that blog are well worth checking. Gypo, next time you're down in Brighton get yersel along to the Jazz Rooms and you'll hear Dewbury playing a lot of good stuff in this style.
Check out the obvious big hitters like Fela Kuti, Tony Allen and Femi Kuti for some good afrobeat action. Hugh Masekela is well worth checking too - there's a great BBE comp of his stuff and there's also a Carl Craig remix of The Boy's Doing It that's a total killer (which I still need a copy of).

I've got some more albums at home that I'll go through later and post some more suggestions - can't remember names off the top of my head now.

Fela Kuti is awesome - i dig out his stuff every summer - quality.

Yeah, totally.
I went to see Femi Kuti on friday night and he opened with a Fela number and did a really good version of it.

gypsy_cream · 26th February 2007

plenty of stuff to check out, thanks alot

**V Knid esq** · 26th February 2007

The classic Afro-disco track of course is 'Soul Makossa' by Manu Dibango.

**V Knid esq** · 26th February 2007

Also cop this track if you haven't got it - a big favourite of mine

Soul Makossa is still knocking about on re-press 12" so should be easy enough to get hold of.

Jeniffer Mills · 26th February 2007

You should really check out some of Mory Kantes stuff from Senegal. He combines traditionall tunes with his "Cora" , with latin grooves and european "dance"...

love_tempo · 26th February 2007

I love Tony Allen's Black Voices, Hustler & Asiko. The maurizio mix of Ole is nice too.

ckpqerjwrpwp · 26th February 2007

we've had a couple of reviews saying the first track on the latest hand on the plow sounds african.. the Laszlo Beckett 12"

ckpqerjwrpwp · 26th February 2007

Konono No.1 sound very techno at points... like jeff mills gone super funky

Hey I'm just repeating what Knid said. I'm completely objective.

Yo, Laszlo is gonna be sacking you if you don't improve your sales technique

I was just throwing you an opener for you to start with the sales pitch. If you ever get invited on Parkinson you better have your patter more sorted than this.

Konono No.1 feature on the new Bjork album.. and on the African genius tip... another track features Toumani Diabate too.

**Patrick** · 5th March 2007

did you check out those mixes, Clair ?

gypsy_cream · 5th March 2007

just downloaded them and replied to yer message, cheers

gypsy_cream · 5th March 2007

lovin them!!!

love_tempo · 5th March 2007

Even though it's european (Cerrone/Moulton) and a mish-mash of styles, I really like Kongas - Anikana for the african percussion.

gypsy_cream · 5th March 2007

ye i got a few kongas tracks...was quite surpised when i realsied who it was behind it

love_tempo · 5th March 2007

I never would have guessed Cerrone either. They might have have been listening to west coast US disco/funk cos it sounds more like War or someone like that.

love_tempo · 5th March 2007

Another thing worth checking out is Hugh Masekela's funk from the time when JB was god.
