Man this ABSOLUTE CLASSIC cut comes from ‘one’ of the first Global Music tapes I ever had back in or about 1988/1989 from a compilation called SUENO COLOMBIANO (now deleted).
However, this actual track dates back to 1976 and is a an AMAZING COVER of a famous track by legendary AFROBEAT artist FELA KUTI.
The Fela track was called ‘SHAKARA’ but this version is called ‘SHALOADE’ and is by Colombia’s Caribe star, WGANDA KENYA.
For me it’s ALMOST as good as the Fela original……Have a listen and decide for yourselves.
Always had a soft spot for this dude, specially since his BLACK ON BOTH SIDES album and the great performance in the movie BE KIND REWIND. Talented dude who has sometimes been slippin’ in the music dept though. Check out his new single, which is a bit strange (again), yet very funky and a bit 1993 soundin’! Courtesy of RCRDLBL:

Or BAILE FUNK, as we like to call it over here… this is a cut by OS HAWAIANOS on a classic FUNK riddim, which gets re-editted and re-used on the entire cd. So it’s all about the lyrics. Which I don’t understand Check it out:
This great track by TONY ALLEN has been sampled extensivly by Q-TIP on his last album, now here’s the sparkling original. One of the funkiest tracks ever. Drums & bass slide together, propelled by a nice wahwah guitar and lush organ sounds… just great stuff!
Grab this ditty RIGHT HERE if you’re into global blending very nice mix!

I’ve posted TALIESIN (of DUTTY ARTZ) stuff on here before I think, if not, shame on me! he just emailed with a link to a new mix that’s pure fire and some tourdates check it:
“I’ve got a new mix done- been recording sets with more of the music ive been listening to recently, cumbia, ny hiphop, and as always bass heavy bangers with that nice metalic sheen… I’ve been living in Budapest since January. Enjoying the Danube (longest river in the EU) and missing all of the tropical madness that Dutty Artz has been hitting New York with. The weather has finally turned here in Budapest- so I cooked up a new mix for my UK tour in May. Ill be in Europe until August 1- So hopefully there will be a few more good international shows this summer. It’s going to be mental- please share wide and far if your feeling it. And as always- if you’ve got any thoughts, don’t be afraid to get at me.”
