Rare Afrobeat treasures here, for example, the original Nigerian 45 version of ‘Who’re you?’ by Fela and his Africa 70. On this album the funk influence is front and centre with short ostinato licks by the guitar and bass, jazzy solos, and the drum kit asserting prominence over the other percussion. African rhythms such as highlife (“We Dey Find Money”), calypso (“Do the Afro Shuffle”), and even a bit of Juju (“Ariwo Yaa” by Bob Ohiri & His Uhuru Sounds). Super-colourful afro-sounds once again from Soundway.
