A really well done compilation of African Funk – filled with tracks we've never heard before, and pushing way past the obvious contents of other compilations! The package is right up there with the best of the best – Booniay, Club Africa, Nigeria 70, and others – in that it brings together a wealth of tracks from France, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroun, West Africa, and even Switzerland – all united by a flair for the groove, and a sound that's steeped in 70s funk! Basslines, scratchy guitars, and tight percussion abound – and the set's got a total of 16 tracks that include "Let Me Get Stoned" by Boo & The Tru Tones, "The Soukouss" by
Manu Dibango & Hal Singer, "Mama Matotoya" by The Vickings, "Leo (parts 1 & 2)" by Kolahyah, "Awarness Is What You Need" by Monomono, "Grazing In The Grass" by The Ramblers International, "Hello Black Benny" by Tony Leveille & Ses Challengers Sound, "Ojinga's Own" by The Yoruba Singers, "Black Poem" by Moussa Dumbia, "Joe" by Marius Cultier, "Africa Boogaloo" by Kalle & L'Africa Team De Paris, and "Afrodeclic" by Marc Thomas.
