Debut release by the Senegalese heavy hitters is a must in my eyes/ears. Killer mix of funk, deep drumming and quality afrobeat. French original in solid EX condition with sticker residue on front cover.

Safari Sound Band - Best Of African Songs (LP)

Mainly an all afrobeat affair, two tracks stand out, the disco fun on Karibuni Kenya and heavy drum driven Kenya Safari. Both are great. Stunning EX+ copy that could easily pass for NM.

Osibisa - Ojah Awake (LP)

British afrobeat funksters that never got much credit for their many recordings. Maybe as they are wrongly defined an afrobeat band but in reality more of disco / funk unit. Check Keep On Trying, it sounds pretty fres...
