Funky Africa.......2001-03-28

A great window into the effects of American funk as it rippled across the African Continent. Hard to sit still as you listen to it...grooves are long, simple and sweaty. All the bands exhibit an equality of talent rare in compilations. This is a must for every party/wedding/road trip. Hopefully this will continue to deepen American's appreciation of the roots of modern West African popular music.
