Fantastic limited reissue of this amazing self-titled afro-funk LP from Ghanaian singing and percussion star Sidiku Buari. Originally released in 1975, this super-rare album features an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside Buari and boy does it show! Blending heavy African rhythms with funky disco grooves, the arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is chock-full of killer tracks including Advice From Father (sampled by everyone from Kenny Dope to Groove Armada) and Ku Ka Maria with its intense funky breaks and awesome drumming from legend Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdie, which made these tracks huge on the b-boy/breaking scene also. Other stand-out tracks include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters Karam Bani and Iro Le Pa plus the cool laidback groove of Them Yebtheget. Top class!
