Africano
About this item
Re-issue of Timmy Thomas's long sought after "Afrcaino" 12" excavated from the deepest realms of the TK Disco vaults.
When it comes to this deep disco cut, "Africano" is one of those tracks that became a dancefloor favorite of Danielle Baldelli who during the 80s played disco, African records, American R&B, and reggae to create what has been since become known as the Afro-Cosmic scene at the height of club culture in the discotheques of Northern Italy.
On the flip is the organ-driven avant funk of "Funky Me", and his classic anti-war number: "Why Can't We Live Together" (especially poignant in these troubled times).
Remastered, represented and brought back into focus for 2025's DJ bags and dancefloors!
As usual, these TK represses are always done in the proper manner. 100% legit re-edits, from the archive, remastered and released in conjunction with Henry Stone Music / TK Disco - Miami FL.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: "Africano" is one of the most cosmic records I've ever heard! Takes you instantly back to the heady days of Baia Degli Angeli; whilst "Why Can't We Live Together" has perhaps never sounded on poignant as now.
