ltd todd terje remix!!!

unreleased afro-cuban jazz

traditionelle kubanische big-band-musik: remasterte nachpressung von 1997 mit vielen “buena vista social club”-musikern. die doppel-lp erscheint als audiophile 180-gramm-pressung (45 rpm) mit einem 32-seitigen booklet.

this is the lost album from alpha 606 entitled afro-cuban electronics, hot on the heels of the alpha 606 rmxd ep, which featured outstanding remixes from anthony shake shakir, bmg, and erika. the vinyl edition includes the vinyl exclusive shake (live at samhain, detroit).

according armando martinez aka alpha 606 the name alpha 606 is a hybrid of alpha 66, the anti castro freedom fighting group, and the roland tr 606 synthesizer machine. his style is the definition of a new sound, known as electronica afro cubano. and the miami new times paper have put it like this, a futuristic homage to cuban culture, fusing warm machine tones and crisp bass notes with afro cuban drums.

the influence of traditional and contemporary african music on funk and disco, from the late 60 s to the early 80s, has rightly become ever more widely recognised and acknowledged over the last 30 years.

organ-driven afro-beat, cosmic afro-funk and raw, psychedelic boogie... just some of the flavours to be found on this highly danceable compilation by samy ben redjeb, founder of analog africa. no effort has been spared!
to document these 15 irresistible tracks and the music scene from the 70s, samy crisscrossed the lengths of ghana and togo in search of the producers and artists - or their relatives. in the process he recorded a dozen interviews, scanned 90 pictures and transferred 120 master tapes. afro-beat airway showcases an amazing diversity of local rhythms spiced with afro-american funk, soul and jazz.

>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.
