Mostly recorded in the late 60s and early 70s, this is MINDBENDING stuff!
A melting pot of Jazz, Soul, Funk, Psychedelia and whatever else you think is there!
Groovy sounds from Orlando Julius...while Ofo The Black Company is totally wild!
Check their "Allah Wakbarr".
A real favourite of mine is Ethiopian composer Girma Beyene...magical, unique, mesmerizing sounds!
This is another homemade comp, most of it comes from NIGERIA (by far the African country with the largest population) and there are a couple of tracks I don't really know where they're from, perhaps somebody could tell me.
If you enjoy it I might post more!
Let me know...
