CD (Item 419895) Mr Bongo (UK), 2006 -- Condition: New Copy
One of the best new Afro Funk albums we've heard in years -- a tremendous effort from percussionist Lekan Babalola, served up with a full bonus disc of remix material! The core grooves here are a fair bit jazzier than most other efforts of this type -- still with heavy percussion from Lekan, but also featuring beautiful sax and trumpet lines on most tracks -- boldly stating themes, then stretching out in well-spirited solos that break the record past typical rhythmic conventions for this sort of set! There's also some really great electric keyboards on the record too -- snaking out in the grooves to give them a nice little 70s touch -- and really coming to the forefront on some of the remix work by Phil Asher, Bob Sinclar, IG Culture, and others! Main tracks include "Kabioye", "Aso Kere", "Oba Laye", "Oososi", "Oya", and "Ide Osun" -- and remix tracks include "Oba Awon Oba (Afronaught vs Misa Negra vocal)", "Oya (Broken Beats Le Pico rmx)", "Aso Kere (IG Culture rmx)", "Kabioye (Mark De Clive-Lowe rmx)", "Kabioye (Phil Asher Restless Soul mix)", and "Elegba (Bob Sinclar remix)". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
