Fela Kuti – Perambulator
https://amf.didiermary.fr/fela-kuti-perambulator/
Despite being credited to Egypt 80, “Perambulator” —backed with “Frustration”— was almost certainly recorded in January or early February 1977, years before the formation of the band.
On the original 1983 release, American trumpeter Lester Bowie, of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was credited as guest soloist. Bowie stayed with Fela for a few weeks […]

Fela Kuti – O.D.O.O. (Overtake…)
https://amf.didiermary.fr/fela-kuti-o-d-o-o-overtake/
O.D.O.O. (Overtake Don Overtake Overtake – 1990) was the penultimate album of newly recorded studio material released by Fela before he passed in 1997. Like its immediate predecessor, Beasts Of No Nation (also 1989), and its followup, Underground System (1992), the album finds Fela continuing to campaign for human rights and social change despite the [...]

Goat – Requiem [2016], dieci anni dopo
Un disco che ha retto bene i colpi degli anni e che anzi è migliorato mentre cresceva è il terzo dei Goat, Requiem. Quando uscì, nel 2016, dovette subire il confronto innanzitutto coi precedenti dei Goat stessi, che avevano acceso gli animi con una mista di psichedelia, afrobeat, raga indiani, riffoni carichi di fuzz e wah wah e due impressionanti voci femminili a dare la carica, e perciò forse venne un po’ snobbato: tanti non accettarono l’idea di un disco folk, a tratti delicato, poco distorto e tanto strumentale; prevalse l’idea che fosse un’opera media, al limite discreta, fioccarono i giudizi compiacenti ma trattenuti. Riascoltato oggi, invece, con la prospettiva del tempo passato e mettendolo a fianco di altri dischi decenni – alcuni dei quali, è evidente, non hanno retto la botta – assume un altro sapore e un’altra profondità.
Il folk di Requiem è musica popolare multicolore e multiculturale i cui antenati vengono dall’Africa, dall’India, dal sud del Mediterraneo e dall’America Latina; è immersa in questa storia e tuttavia sembra non fare alcuno sforzo per assomigliare a qualcosa in particolare, e la firma della band ce l’ha stampata in fronte.
Gli strumentali spadroneggiano, ma cosa gli volete dire a dei pezzi come Goatband o Goodbye? Che sono troppo narcotici? Cosa vi aspettate dalla «psichedelia», le canzonette con la chitarra in riverbero? Suvvia. E non si può certo affermare che manchi il materiale per ballare. Ce n’è anzi da vendere ed è di ottima fattura: gli inni apripista da cantare a squarciagola I Sing in Silence, Trouble in the Streets, Try My Robe e Union of Mind and Soul sono già diventati dei classici. Il giro di flauto dell’ultima ha la stessa potenza ipnotica del riff di chitarra di Seven Nation Army – ed è un cazzo di flauto, non so se rendo l’idea. E poi c’è Goatfuzz, una carica col fuzz in spalla lanciata da due voci indemoniate che termina in una coda raga acidissima: non è forse tra le migliori del suo Goatgenere?
È un disco strano e alieno questo Requiem, non è conciso e immediato come i suoi fratelli più grandi e necessitava di tempo per aprirsi e fiorire. Questo mi è parso di capire. È un’opera che tiene tanti mondi insieme allineandoli l’uno accanto all’altro in un racconto che appare sempre più coerente, sempre più affascinante e grande a ogni ascolto, e che stacca di chilometri per carattere e fervore tante cose più blasonate.
Viva il caprone!

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou – The Vodoun Effect (1972-75, Benin)
Our next spotlight is on number 965 on The List, submitted by platenworm.
From the amazing Analog Africa label, this is the first of three volumes collecting a few gems from “West Africa’s best-kept secret”, a band founded in 1968 first under the name “Orchestre Poly-Disco” that became one of the era’s best, funkiest, and most innovative. While volume 2 features songs that were professionally recorded for the Albarika Store label, the songs on this volume (as well as volume 3) were recorded in home studios with a single microphone or two for smaller labels and (with the exception of one track) previously saw only limited local release. From the Bandcamp description: “Two Vodun rhythms dominate the music of Orchestre Poly-Rythmo: Sato, an amazing, energetic rhythm performed using an immense vertical drum, and Sakpata, a rhythm dedicated to the divinity who protects people from smallpox. Both rhythms are represented here mixed in with Funk, Soul, crazy organ sounds and psychedelic guitar riffs.”
- Bandcamp: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou – “The Vodoun Effect” 1972-1975, Funk & Sato from Benin’s Obscure Labels
