trackback
The Daktaris are actually several alumni from Fela Kuti’s band, and as expected, Soul Explosion contains massive chunks of throbbing Afrobeat, the style perfected by the late Nigerian performer. Part Nigerian and part American funk à la James Brown, these 10 mostly instrumental tracks are hardcore, juju-headed time bombs from the dance floor of the motherland, with a baritone sax-fronted horn section riding earthshaking rhythms, thundering bass lines, and occasional wah-wah guitar. Except for classic workouts on Fela’s “Upside Down,” James Brown’s “Give It Up, Turn It Loose,” and the rare “Musicawa Silt” from Ethiopia’s Wallias Band, these are all original tunes from a 15-strong ensemble that charges straight at you like a herd of elephants, absolutely unstoppable. Hopefully, any future release from this outfit will extend the group’s monumental grooves beyond a five-minute format, which most of these Lagos-produced tracks fit into. –Derek Rath
