CD (Item 473660) Analog Africa (Germany), Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy

An amazing tribute to The Green Arrows – an ultra-hip combo from the 70s scene in Zimbabwe! The group had a sound that was dubbed "waka-waka" by its fans – thanks to unique guitar parts that wobble back and forth with the rhythmic groove of the tunes – often recorded with a bit of echo, in ways that make them sound slightly psychedelic! The music here isn't as funky or wild as reissues of other African work of the time – but it's still pretty darn unique, with a groove that's very hard to peg – and a standout quality that really lives up to the mighty look of this package. As with other Analog Africa collections, the whole thing comes with a great batch of notes – really detailed history of the band and their music – supported with a double-length selection of tunes that includes "Infalilibe Chisoni", "Hurungwe", "Wasara Wasara", "Chimamuna Chamimba", "Nhengure", "Chipo Chiroorwa", "Nkosi's Intro", and "Mwana Waenda".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
