David Murray & The Gwo-Ka Masters (2004) - Gwotet

Esto dice la gente de allmusic:
Tenor saxophonist David Murray & the Gwo-Ka Masters mix together aspects of jazz with African rhythms (propelled by both Klod Kiavue and Hamid Drake on drums), occasional group vocals, a flexible horn section, and Christian Laviso's distinctive guitar. Most intriguing is the opportunity to hear both Murray and Pharoah Sanders taking raging solos over catchy but unpredictable grooves. Freed from playing jazz standards or very free improvisations, Murray really thrives in this exotic setting, which was inspired by his move to France. "Gwotet," "Ouagadougou," and "Djolla Feeling" are high points, but there are no slow moments during the infectious set of danceable but somewhat unclassifiable music.

Afrobeat, jazz, funk, pulenta.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - Liberation Afro Beat, Vol. 1

Los muchachos de Antibalas quisieran comentar unas cositas:

"Antibalas is a diverse cooperative of music makers in Brooklyn, dedicated to making original revolutionary afrobeat music inspired by the chief priest Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as well as other visionary artists, musicians and thinkers.Antibalas is more than just a band. It alms to be a movement in an era where the pursuit of money and fame has ruined the souls an work of our fellow humans.Antibalas is trying to lead by example as a functioning co-operativeentity. We encourage you to try to do the same, be it as a musical group, food co-op, squat, intentional community, credit union, etc.We encourage you to expand your mind and your conceptions of how theworld can be. Right now we are all pawns, but only because we have allowed ourselves
to be. We let de-humanising, corrupt institutions like governments, armies, and banks dictate how we live and die. wetry to find joy and fulfilment in the excrement of these institutions:TV, fashion, professional sports, all of which disempower us.Try to see beyond that. Dare to be free!! And with this, our first ofmany statement to the world...."

Que lo parió!!
