5.0 out of 5 stars This is what I was searching for!, November 22, 2002

By	Bruce A. Ishikawa (Marlborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

African funk lives on in this terrific collection of songs from across Africa. Manu Dibango and Hugh Masakela are the stars, but the funkiest stuff comes from the guys I never heard of. Every song on this collection is a gem and they are all different. It's fascinating how James Brown's style was picked up back in the place where the rhythm ultimately originated. The guitars, the horns, the wailing organ could all be behind JB in a 1969 show. I have long been a fan of James Brown, George Clinton, Tower of Power and Sly Stone. But the rest of the field was way behind those guys and then American funk declined into disco in the 1970s. Now I discover where it went! This CD is all I could hope for!
