Who Is This America?
LP (Item 363060) Ropeadope/Daptone, 2004 -- Condition: New Copy
The most outwardly political album to date from Antibalas -- and quite possibly the funkiest one too! The set's got the group really grooving hard in their 70s Afro Funk-inspired vein -- jamming at a level that would make Fela Kuti blush -- working together with a fierce array of percussion, horns, keyboards, and guitars to jam up a groove that stretches back to the best days of the African-styled funk of the classic years. The whole thing's wonderful -- every bit as essential for any fan of 70s Fela as it is for the current deep funk underground of which Antibalas are a part -- and if you had any fear that their move to a semi-major label would hurt them, rest assured that they sound better than ever! Titles include "Big Man", "Obanla'e", "Elephant", "Sister", "Pay Back Africa", and "Who Is This America Dem Speak Of Today?" (Finally available on vinyl -- thanks to the funk saviors at Daptone!) © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
