Newen Afrobeat, Chilean collective
https://amf.didiermary.fr/chilean-collective-newen-afrobeat-curiche/
The Chilean collective Newen Afrobeat gets inspiration from Fela’s music and activism.
In Chile, or rather, in all of South America, there’s no real information about Africa. There is a lot of ignorance about that big continent that has a lot of different cultures, but we just think of it as “Africa.” Like it’s just […]

FELA KUTI & EGYPT 80
Original Suffer Head
2024 U.S. reissueFinally re-adjusted to West Coast time, and it’s a beautiful day outside on the island.
A perfect day to play some Fela.
Jazz, funk, soul, afrobeat, the dude was just simply incredible.
He made SO many albums over his lifetime, and I firmly believe that not only was he the most influential artist on funk and African music, but on music period.
His influence on cultures is surpassed only by a select few, and I fully stand by that statement.Truly one of the most interesting and fascinating dudes to have ever walked the Earth.
If you don’t know much about Fela… dive in.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more colorful and rich life.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #funk #soul #jazz #afrobeat #felakuti

While other studios might only use "modeled emulators" for their "plugins" - I've often preferred instead to use the real deal, whether tube, transformer or tape, whenever the coloration of these has been desired. While it's super rare that I do layback to tape, for this album of contemporary afrobeat I did last week, where the client name checked the likes of Fela Kuti, Antibalas, along with some albums I did for the likes of Budos Band, Sharon Jones, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, as the vibe they were wanting for their digital mixes - recording their tracks first onto 1/4" 15ips 2-track analog reel via my Otari MX5050-B2 has been just the thing to bring out some sweet sounding grime, saturation & punch that works perfectly for their goals. Shout out to local South Austin tech Tim Allen for getting this machine purring recently. And for any out there looking for a similar funkification of their mixes, give me a holla.
