The Vault: “The Funky Fuzzy Sounds Of West Africa” Lives Up To Its Title
Okay, so maybe you didn’t wake up this morning hoping for some early-’70s West African rock, but hopefully these two tracks–from Luaka Bop’s 2004 collection Love’s A Real Thing: The Funky Fuzzy Sounds of West Africa–will prick up your ears a bit. We won’t embarrass ourselves by pretending that our world-music knowledge runs deep, so we’ll just say that the Super Eagles song is absurdly catchy, and that the Ofo track has an ace garage-rock guitar squeal. Highly recommended.
