Give The Beggar A Chance ... CD 
Tummy Touch/Soundway (UK), Early 70s. Used Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Massive music from Monomono – and a set of Afro Funk put together with a wonderful criss-crossing of sounds! The style here isn't just the familiar grooves you might expect – and instead, there's almost a post-colonial vibe going on – an ear towards London, and another towards ...

Tunji Oyelana – A Nigerian Retrospective 1966 to 1979 (180 gram pressing with download) ... LP 
Soundway (UK), Late 60s/1970s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A motherlode of music from the legendary Tunji Oyelana – a key figure in Nigerian music from the late 60s onward – with an influence that's almost as important as Fela's! Tunji's style is pretty darn funky, but different too – almost a pan-African sort of range that encompasses ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

EMI/Soundway (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99
The People Rock Outfit really knock it out of the park with this dark-edged classic from the 70s – one of the heaviest albums we've heard from the Nigerian scene at the time, and a record that's almost got more of a South African spirit overall! These guys effortlessly mix together funk and ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dexter Story —
Bahir ... LP Soundway (UK), 2019. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The world of Dexter Story just keeps getting bigger and bigger – not just because he's a richly collaborative player, but also because he's got this musical style that really opens up to so many different elements – but without ever sounding like he's trying to crash them together in ...

Body Beat – Soca Dub & Electronic Calypso 1979 to 1998 (3LP set) ... LP Soundway (UK), Late 70s/1980s/1990s. New Copy 3LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great set that moves towards the farther reaches of the Caribbean scene in the 80s – music that's much more underground than some of the bigger soca and tropical hits of the time! As you might expect from the Soundway label, the work here is a very unusual, very well-done presentation of a ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Doing It In Lagos – Boogie, Pop, & Disco In 80s Nigeria ... CD Soundway (UK), Early 80s. New Copy 2CD ... Out Of Stock
Damn great work from the early 80s Nigerian scene – music that's evolved strongly past the Afro Funk of the 70s, and often has the same electro soul sound as work from the US at the time! These cuts are unabashedly upbeat, and aimed at the dancefloor – full of the kind of basslines and ... (Global Grooves) read more CD

Kenya Special – Selected East African Recordings From The 70s & 80s (3LPs & bonus 7" single) ... LP Soundway (UK), 1970s/1980s. New Copy 3 LP & 7 Inch ... Out Of Stock
A much-needed look at the massive amount of music recorded in Kenya during the 70s and 80s – an incredibly fertile time for local culture in the nation – and a time when it seemed like there was a great new groove coming out nearly every day! The work here really rivals the best of the ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A killer collection of champeta work from the Caribbean coast of Colombia – music that still has plenty of local touches, but also shares a lot with African imports of the time – a really unique little hybrid that makes for plenty of heavy rhythms! The sound is quite unique – a ... (Latin) read more CD

Panama! – Latin, Calypso, & Funk On The Isthmus 1965 to 1975 ... CD Soundway (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... $14.99
An incredible musical discovery – and some really mindblowing grooves from a previously untapped source!
