Some throw back soul? From Daptone, no less? Of course you’ll love it!
This album is fantastic. It’s a compilation of soul tracks from western Africa from the 1960’s, and has tons of funky riffs and great beats. None of the songs are in English, but they’re sung in a James Brown-y style, so it takes a while to realize that it’s in a different language. This would be perfect in a beat lover’s shift, or any time you’re aching for something funky and phenomenal. Makes ya wanna dance.
