Description

AFRICAN BROTHERS DANCE BAND FIRST LP 1970  * AFRO

THEIR CLASSIC SLAB ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, ON THEIR AFRIBROS LABEL, 1970, PRESSED IN ENGLAND.

THE SOUND IS SUPERB, WITH A 10 3-4 MINUTES SONGS, SOME COMPLEX, FAST HIGHLIFE (NOT THE JOLLY STUFF OF THE 60'S), SOME WITH A CONGOLESE OR LATIN FLAIR (ONE STYLE CALLED "LABAMA" BY WHICH I THINK THEY MEAN "LA BAMBA", ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THAT SONG ITSELF, JUST PLAYED IN A LATIN DANCE STYLE) SOME GREAT DANCE NUMBERS HERE.  THE GUITAR IS RAWER THAN THE LATER GHANAN HIGHLIFE FORMULAIC SOUND, WITH HINTS OF MULTIPLE INFLUENCES, AS ABOVE.  THE FORM HAD YET TO COALESCE, SO THERE IS INTERESTING EXPERIMENTATION HERE.  FANTASTIC SOUND FIDELITY ON THIS LP.

COVER: VG+

VINYL:  VG+++
