CD (Item 457482) Freestyle (UK), 2007 -- Condition: New Copy
These guys just never stop grooving -- and although an Afro Funk combo at the core, they've really started growing their sound over the years -- so that this time around, there's a fair bit of deep funk in the mix as well! Fela-styled grooves are inflected with a bit of a JBs sensibility at times -- and the vocals have a rolling, romping quality that eggs on the rhythms even more -- not really what you'd expect from Afro Funk, and almost more of a Caribbean sort of soul at points. This blend of elements really makes the record stand out from the pack, and keeps Kokolo from being just a rehash of older 70s modes -- giving us another great reason to keep an ear on their groove as the years roll on! Titles include "Vote Black President", "Our Own Thing", "The Way Up", "Congo Bongo", "Sabroso", "While I Got The Microphone", "The Magnificent Seven", and "Nueva York". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
