"Temne" african chants and drums. "African time" nice pop african. Swedish release only. Price is reduced due to light marks.
Whooa, storming 12 or what?! Two murderous afrobeat sides in the Fela tradition that wouldn't sound out of place next to the master. Not gonna say anything more, you just listen.
I put it in the afro section but it's hard to pigeonhole this Ethiopian mixture of funk, jazz, soul and something else. If you liked Mulatu, Moondog, Sun Ra or just music with an edge, this comes highly recommended. Try "Feqer feqer new" or "Tashamanaletch" for a start.
Afro/soul record from Nigeria. "Groovies funk". Has marks that affect play slightly. Cover wear.
Classic Juju music from Nigeria. Rare Uk issue in clean shape. Small writing on the cover.
UK press made for the Nigerian market. Huge spacy afro disco track in "Eyi yato". Very clean copy. Small writing on both front & back. Timeless african music that makes you relax from all the stress in this society & always brings out a big smile when played.
Classic Juju music from Nigeria with some slight afrobeat influences. Nothing for the afro funk heads but still very good & charming music. Nigerian original. Written at front cover.
UK press made for the Nigerian market, nice clean copy. Small writing on both front & back. Timeless african music that makes you relax from all the stress in this society & always brings out a big smile when played.
Superb afro funk from the master. "Upside down". UK original of one of his best LP's. Clean copy.
Two of his much loved anthems at a dj friendly 45 single. Picture cover.
Senegalese artist who recorded this record in France for small label. As many other african artists at the time he jumped on the disco bandwaggon but did do a nice club track in "N'terol" plus a good slow afro latin track in "Bimousso". Recommended for the open minded djs! Small writing on backside of the cover.
Interesting traditional artist from Cameroun. Mainly makossa & rumba music here. Scarse LP from 1981.
Straight forward killer dubby highlife/afro in "Kokoroko",and I bet this sounds dope on a big system. The rest is not bad either & features top notch musicans as Orlando Julious etc.

Reissue of rare afro fusion LP from the tiny island of Guadeloupe. Check the wonderful "Eduardo 3/4" or "Samba Arawak".
Mainly highlife & soukous tracks here, but don't miss the nice afro jazz tune "Travel & see". From 1983.
Rare highlife LP with a light afrobeat touch. Simply just wonderful music all the way through, but maybe not for the afro funk dj's. Lovely clean copy & probably hard to find in this great shape.
4 track afrobeat LP with an immense 9 min version of "Get up stand up". Pretty traditional sound all through but that's not meant as criticism - I for one will not complain when it's done this well.
Good late recording from 1989 but with an earlier sound picture. Is influenced by disco but is still very rootsy in the sound. Nigerian original.

Traditional highlife/juju music from Nigeria. Released on his own label, Nigerian original from 1983.
Swinging african pop music from the early 80's. "Tabali" etc. Record looks untouched but cover has small writing on both front & back.
Reissue of vocal ethnic jazzy music in the same style as Mulatu Astatke. Recorded 1975 in Ethiopia & fairly unknown to the world, this is great music for the open minded listener. Try "Ere mela mela" or "Ohoho gedama" for a start.
"The Panther" monster club friendly afro/funk tune with slamming percussion. "Afro-soul" is another winner with a slightly more psychadelic sound. Fine Japanese delated reissue with obi and insert.
"African hustle" wicked afro/funk tune with jazz influences. Good LP althrough. Reissue of rare album that was originally only released in Germany.

Legendary Ethiopian jazz musician Mulatu Astatke did some incredible laidback funky jazz in the late 60's and early 70's and this album contains material originally only released in Ethiopia. Highly recomended if you want something different!
Heavyl african rhythms with some chanting vocals on top. Sounds like a voodoo party for sure.
Religious chanting music from Ghana with some heavy percussion on top.
Clean Nigerian original of this pop/highlife disco LP. Produced by Sonny Okosun. "Living music" & "Help" was the best tracks for me, but i guess this is not for the funk heads.
You already know the slamming "Mista president" (here in a full 6.30 version!), but don't miss the title track - baad afrobeat business. Nice LP as a whole, even a few highlife cuts.
Charming calypso LP from one of the biggest stars on the scene. A bit cheeky but "Funky carnival" & "Bad Johns" is happy & uplifting music.
Obscure Ghanian highlife album by this hyped group. This is not funky afro stuff like their other more famous album but nice in it's own style. Cover is torned around seams and has front wear.
Good traditional, uptempo soukous. Unfortunatly bad condition on the record, but still play ok. Some writing on the cover plus some general dirt & damage on the backside of the cover.
Rare Nigerian pop/disco/highlife LP from 1983.
Old compilation of traditional folk music from Kenya, not any funky sounds at all, more on the voodoo party tip.
