King Britt Presents Oba Funke | CosmoAfrique

King Britt writes another chapter in the book of Philly's musical accomplishments.
CD, Karmagiraffe/Lowlands

Tekst: da volgaBabe

Publicatiedatum: 24 juni 2002

With all ears pointed towards Philly anyway, King Britt writes another chapter in the book of the city's musical accomplishments. In this case, that means full-on African Roots with alternately percussion-based grooves, broken beats, and a wee bit of house filling in the rhythmical chapters. But first and for all, it means a mass infusion of sassy soul and feline funk. Our never-tiring volgaFeet were instantly chasing off to the floor for the hot-blooded Oba Chant and the previously released, never-ending, celebration jam Freedom. And we continued the sacred dance to the brooding, ancestral jazz-funk of Bush Workout, the primeval Afro-house spirit of Uzoamaka, and the voodoo-electro of Shango. If you are into Frédéric Galliano's (radically different on the technical level, yet very kindred in spirit) African Divas project on F-Comm, then you might as well direct your further investigations towards King Britt's roots universe. But the people who left their hearts with the West-London breaks scene won't be disappointed either. A classy act.
