ABOUT THIS ITEM

Second release on the wonderful ‘Supafrico Records’ digs up and dusts off four more mega-rare nuggets of superb Afro-funk. First up is the excellent Afro-disco groove of Kabbala’s ‘Ashewo Ara’, a lost gem originally released back in 82 on tiny UK independent Red Flame and now featuring highly on many collectors’ wants lists. Next is Buari’s ‘I’m Ready’, a chunk of pure dancefloor dynamite with a driving disco groove and great funky synths, taken from the Ghanian singer and percussionist’s awesome 1979 ‘Disco Soccer’ LP. On the flip we get the mega-rare and totally essential ‘Body & Soul’, a magnificent 10 minute mid-tempo Afro workout recorded in 1980 by Nigerian funkster William Onyeabor. With some of funkiest and deliclious licks around! Last up is a great extended edit of the Ashantis’ brilliant funky bubbler ‘Everybody’s Groove’ with its floor-filling groove and wicked vocals. These lovingly remastered rarities sound better than ever making this EP a must for anyone with a taste for those incredible funky Afro grooves.
