Also, we will have a performance by Ugochi and the Ayodele Drum and Dance Ensemble. The Chicago Film Festival will also be celebrating with an after-party for its Spotlight Africa film series.

Academy Records and Frank from Voodoo Funk are back with another heavy slab o' West African Funk. Freedom Family hailed from Ghana, where they spent a number of years as the backing band for Geraldo Pino. The time they spent backing Pino shines through, as the group is super tight. Guitar, funky drums and Hammond organ dominate the record - it's Street tough Afro Funk all the way. Record includes a cool booklet with notes by notes by singer Albert Jones. Also come with download card.<br />

It's no secret that The Shrine has a deep love for African music, old and new. The name alone should be enough of a hint... Well things are about to get real! The Highlife is a new weekly Saturday night party dedicated to modern African club music, with a focus on music from Nigeria. Well, Nigeria is merely a jumping off point. DJs/promoters and brothers Dee Money and 3K spin tunes from across the diaspora. Hip Hop has long gone international, and good music is universal, regardless of the language in which it is sung. Their parties attract dancers from all nations who want to come out and have a great time. Party goers take their fashion sense as serious as their moves on the floor. Folks simply get decked out to get down.<br />
<br />

Tracks range from Brazilian tunes and obscure Soul cuts, to hard-to-find Reggae, Latin & African jams, and whatever else Neal felt like dropping. All are seven inch record, all original vinyl. Neal is a beast and has a mind-blowing collection. Ever heard Ronnie Jones' cover of Rodriguez's 'Sugar Man' @ around the 41 minute (halfway) mark?! Me neither. Killer, like the whole mix.<br />
<br />
We actually scored a few of the records in this set together on a little digging expedition in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Hey, Edson!) His store is bad ass, too! If you are in the DC area, drop in. Tell 'em Clark Quente sent you. Oh, almost forgot, check out his monthly Brazilian party (Brazilian Rhythms) at Cafe Saint-Ex.<br />

The doll was created by Chicago's very own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_Prewitt" style="color: red;" target="_blank">Archer Prewitt</a> in a limited edition of 1000. The Japanese import is available from <a href="http://aggronautix.com/products.cfm?productid=53" style="color: lime;" target="_blank">Aggronautix</a><span style="color: lime;">, </span>which is taking pre-orders now!<br />
<br />
The doll has adjustable arms and head and is accompanied by a cloth hat, gold
bracelet, and gold necklace. He holds a lighter and microphone. <br />
<br />
Hopefully, there is no fluid in the lighter...<br />

'Make It Fast, Make It Slow' is a Afro/Psych/Funk diggers dream. The title track appeared on the Ghana Soundz compilation. Afrobeats, tripped out production, oddball percussion, yup!<br /><br />Segun Okeji's 'I Like Woman' follows closely in Fela's footsteps. One long track on each side. Originally released in 1978. I have an earlier re-issue that is on Soul Patrol as well. This is supposed to be limited to 500 copies. Afro heat, indeed! "Everybody say feelings!"<br /><br />Academy Records and Voodoo Frank are back with another insanely rare 45. Some folks out there may be familiar with The Apostles 'Black Is Beautiful' LP. Same funky feel, though the lyrics are sung in their native language, instead of English.

Batida is the brainchild of Portuguese DJ Mpula – who brings together samples from older Angolan recordings with contemporary beats and rhythms – often in a blend that's got the quick-stepping sort of pace you'd hear in favela grooves from the Brazilian scene – yet which comes across completely differently, thanks to the rich array of acoustic elements in the original recordings! There's loads of sweet guitar lines that rifle through the music – and the set also features guest contributions from contemporary MCs and producers.<br /><br />Cop it on LP at <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Dusty Groove</span>!senhor quentehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05791423489855250361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830477678868146689.post-63317258132185525462012-03-23T10:09:00.004-07:002012-03-23T10:54:44.171-07:00TONY ALLEN: ROCKET JUICE AND THE MOON<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA71w4NPJ_Z8swSfoCtYrLD_nqFzR_67x6ugMeRehgjvu4Z8g_dBbQv228_Xh06hnKSMLUQzz_A9lwSOdpYhq0WLLZGjuV4K5VKrlKDu0in-Vc-S28OU0f759anFcx6p4wsvm1UF_jRos/s1600/ROCKET-JUICE-AND-THE-MOON.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA71w4NPJ_Z8swSfoCtYrLD_nqFzR_67x6ugMeRehgjvu4Z8g_dBbQv228_Xh06hnKSMLUQzz_A9lwSOdpYhq0WLLZGjuV4K5VKrlKDu0in-Vc-S28OU0f759anFcx6p4wsvm1UF_jRos/s400/ROCKET-JUICE-AND-THE-MOON.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723151958818919010" border="0" /></a><br />The legendary Tony Allen returns with a new group and album with Damon Albarn, Flea and a host of guests including Chicago's own Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.<br /><br /><br />Check the cut below with Erykah Badu.
