5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Funk unit that went under the radar..., May 28, 2006
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band were actually from the U.S., but were a Paris based group - - and to this day (except for DJs who find this stuff the ultimate groove juice) are virtually unknown back at home despite their ultra heavy levels of Funkativity. The formula:'70s dance music with a funk, afro, latin disco mix. An evil mix of Osibisa vs. Mandrill (if that means anything to you!) - - They changed their name to ICE in 1976 and recorded alteast one ULTRA heavy JAZZ FUNK album for Prestige as I recall - - its highly collectible... my copy went missing and I want it bad.
Meanwhile while ICE (at the time of this writing) is still MIA from the reissues bin, its great to see Lafayette Afro Rock, which has always been hard to find is back in reissue. If you dig tripped out funk with lot's of percussion, including the funky Hammond screamin' "jungle music" you'd hear in those Euro-porn films back in the '70s, you definitely won't regret this purchase ! ! !
