VA - Rare Afro & Caribbean Funk Vol. 1 + Vol. 2 [2007] (2 x CDs)

VA - Rare Afro & Caribbean Funk Vol. 1 [2007] - One of the hippest collections of global grooves we've ever heard -- a side each of rare African and Caribbean tunes -- both of which sound a fair different than work we've had on other compilations! The African tunes break nicely from the standard Fela groove -- and stretch out with sometimes-complicated rhythms that are filled with jazzy changes, snapping beats, and soulful vocals that have a pretty freewheeling sound. The Caribbean side starts with grooves somewhere in the territory of Beginning Of The End, but quickly takes off into even headier territory -- a great blend of island rhythms and much trippier jamming! Afro titles include "We Gonna Make It" by Idowu Funkyman Fakeye, "Munia" by Sumo, "Diwela" by Jerry Malekani, and "Enjoy Your Life" by Oby Onyihoa -- and Carribean tunes include "Independent Bahamas" by Biosis Now, "Soul Martinique" by Black Machines, "The Higher Bidder" by Gordon Henderson, and "Priere Au Soleil" by Marcel Louis Joseph.  [Dusty Groove, Inc.]

VA - Rare Afro & Caribbean Funk Vol. 2 [2007] - A second mighty batch of rare work from points south -- the kind of tunes we'd never have tracked down on our own, making us even more grateful for a set like this! As before, the music's a blend of obscure African tunes and other bits picked from the Caribbean -- the latter of which represents a strongly untapped source of funk from the 70s, finally getting its due in recent years! There's a strong influence on most numbers from American funky 45s -- heavy drums, riffing guitars, and blasting horns -- but all put together with a slightly different approach, especially on the bottom -- which makes for more than enough interesting grooves throughout the set. Titles include "Dig It Babe" by Jojo L'Explosif, "Rising" by WJC & Roots Trunks & Branches, "Dou Dagbe We" by Black Santiago, "Almamy" by Super Tentemba Jazz, "Rhythm On Rhythm" by Sookie, "Joe" by Marius, "Play Up Play Up" by Roland Louis Orchestra, "Let's Stay Up Vickings" by Les Vickings, and "Wish Upon Love" by Cool Creation.  [Dusty Groove, Inc.]
