i label this one "afrobeat v1.0" simply because i know i will post more afrobeat. i love afrobeat/afro-fun/and any afro-funk-fusion sounds (except for toubab krewe... i have a serious love/hate relationship with that band... meaning, i've loved one show out of 6 i've seen from them [i hated the other 5]).
i've shared some Kokolo with everybody on older posts back on jambase... i'll go a different route with this one. Kokolo.. Ray Lugo rather.. is an old friend, and i love giving props to his music whenever i get a chance, so if you are reading this and are unfamiliar with Kokolo - get in touch and i'll hook you up with some music.
this time i am going to go old school and post some music from the late-great FELA KUTI. the man, the music.
here is Fela Kuti and his album (which, may i remind you, these were being released as 45s back in the 70s, and were typically only one song per side, so most Fela albums are very short as far as track listing, but the songs are like 20+ minutes each) "Opposite People". definitely do yourself a favor and download this.... this is AFROBEAT.
Fela Kuti - Opposite People/Sorrow, Tears and Blood

Ain't that some shit?!

- outerspace, with a cape
- I'm an avid music collector, listener, fan, and purveryor of sorts. You can find me planted in the front row of a concert near you... or if the mood is right, you might find me somewhere in outerspace, wearing my mask and cape. It seems to serve its purpose quite well (as does the moose hat, but that's a horse of a different color). I hope you all enjoy the sounds.
