Bongos For Beatniks
CD (Item 566765) Blow Up (UK), 2011 — Condition: New Copy
Groovy funk with spacey and earthy touches from London's Bongolian! Bongolian is the longtime project of one man funk orchestra Nasser Bouzida –-also the frontman of fellow Blow Up funk combo Big Boss Man – pulling off a live band sound that's as rich and far-reaching as anyone in the UK funk scene over the past decade! He always deftly covers a lot of territory – organ & percussive funk, cosmic keys and wild rhythms of all kinds. On Bongos For Beatniks, Bongololian brings in some more globally flavored soundscapes – from Latin boogaloo and beyond, madly fused with a pulpy funk of all stripes. Bouzida plays all kinds of keys, bongos, drums, clavient, cowell, shakers, strings and occasionally sings – with help on trombone on a handful of numbers by Tom Brady and violin on one by Margaret Ellwood. Includes "The Riviera Affair", "Moscow Queen", "Strange Lover", "Pretty Bertie", "Bongolian Dream", "Tortoise Walk". 13 tracks on the CD. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
