Heavy Heavy Heavy (Let's Have A Party/Afro Soco Soul Live)
CD (Item 396963) Retro Afric (UK), 1970s -- Condition: New Copy
They certainly got the title right on this one -- because the groove is heavy heavy heavy, and the set is one of the funkiest African collections we've ever stocked! Geraldo Pino's often credited as the man who inspired part of the Fela sound of the 70s -- and Pino was one of the first Africans to pick up the styles that James Brown was forging in the 60s, and recast them into a longer, more jamming mode that would eventually form the sound of Afro Funk. This set's the first collection we've ever seen of Pino's work -- and it's a long-overdue set that adds a whole new chapter to the history of Afro Funk! Many tunes have skittish electric piano and organ riffing along with heavier percussion and guitar -- in a way that creates a really unusual groove, and one that grabs our ears instantly! 12 tracks in all -- including "Afro Soco Soul Live", "Let Them Talk", "Heavy Heavy Heavy", "Africans Must Unite", "Shake Hands", "Power To The People", "Let's Have A Party", "Right In The Centre", "On The Spot", and "Black Woman Experience". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
