Not sure if you're into Jazzy, afro-beats but if you are, check out the new one fro Nomo... i like jazz but what it afro-beats? It's a genre that came from the 70's out of Africa. Wiki says; Afrobeat is a combination of Yoruba music, jazz, Highlife, and funk rhythms, fused with African percussion and vocal styles, popularized in Africa in the 1970s.
Afrobeat's main creator and longstanding exclusive artist was the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Fela Kuti, who coined the term Afrobeat, shaped the musical structure and also the political context of the genre in Nigeria Nigerians were first introduced to Afrobeat in 1970 when Kuti returned from a U.S tour with his group Nigeria 70 (formerly Koola Lobitos). Kuti's new sound haled from a club that he established called the Afro-Shrine. Upon arriving in Nigeria, Kuti changed the name of his group to Fela Ransome-Kuti & Africa 70. The band sustained a five-year residency in the Afro-Shrine from 1970-75 while Afrobeat thrived among Nigerian youth. Nomo is pretty cool here, listen to them - http://www.myspace.com/nomomusic Antibalas is another afrobeat band I'm always listening to when I'm not finding undiscovered funk. | |

Hi sweetie ~ dunno how you feel about him, but Tricky's new album is insane. Track seven is my top pick but they are all great. The last song on the cd sounds like it came out of that darkly strange movie Beloved (which I LOVED). Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

The Sigur Ros is incredible too ~ joyous and soaring. Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |
