Orlando Julius And The Afro Sounders (Philipps West African Records, 1973, Voodoo Funk, 2011)
On reste au Nigeria et en 1973, peut-être l'année la plus funky!
Dans la série "album qui déboite", la saga continue...
Marrying traditional African rhythms with the bold arrangements and highly melodic sounds of American pop, soul, funk and R&B. Orlando Julius and the Afro Sounders, recorded between 1970 and 1973 in Ginger Baker's studio in Lagos, represents Julius working as a composer and producer with more creative freedom than his earlier recordings, recording 24 tracks with a close-knit group of musicians. The result is an album that stands as a testament to Julius' genius, and one that sounds just as good as the day it was recorded.
