soundway afrobeat retrospective.....
So Fela Kuti was, and still is incredibly influential in terms of how popular music was and is shaped worldwide. We know this. But just how did his style (in and out of the studio) influence his home country Nigeria upon his return from LA in 1970? The guys at Soundway records have recently released a plethora of compilations looking at the Afrobeat sensation, and MTI sifts through them to bring you a selection of the dance numbers that were tearing up the dancefloors of teh Highlife clubs throughout Lagos and Accra. Expect loose rhythms, messy horns and some shouting....this is the sexy sound of Afrobeat.
Sandwiched by some more recent efforts from the likes of Jay Electronica, Gonjasufi, Lost Productions and Scuba; this weeks MTI is jam-packed full of messy beats, jazz and razzmatazz. Brrrrraaaa!!!!
