#NowPlaying #8TrackTuesday #DeadFormats #AfricanMusic
Saif Abu Bakr & the Scorpions were a #Sudanese #Jazz band whose lone 1980 album somehow only saw release on the Bon Zaid Phone label out of #Kuwait. This was one of a scant few #8track cartridges ever released in that country, all which were made . . . in Greece. This probably speaks of some interesting cross-cultural relationships between Kuwait, Sudan, and Greece back then, but all I can verify is that this African organ/sax/guitar mix sounds funky and still feels great today.

#NowPlaying #FalsettoFriday #Falsetto #AfricanMusic
The keen ears at @blogamf hipped me to #CrammedDiscs’ 2022 release of this lost 1987 album by Congolese-born/Belgian-raised #MauricePotoDoudongo. It's future forward electro-funk, ala #ZazouBiyake - or #Prince, fr christs sake! - but steeped in the rhythms and textures of #CongoleseRumba and #Soukous. Rich, joyful, and really quite beautiful, this one gets me moving and still sounds relevant today.
