This week The Adventures of Encyclopedia Sound we head back to the motherland... Africa, y'all.
The first adventure today is another Case of the Night at Club Safari. This is African pop music, mostly from the 60s... these are the kinds of dancefloor songs you would hear in an African nightclub in that heady decade following independence for so many countries. Music this week from the Congo, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria.
The second adventure today is another Case of Jungle Fever... African funk jams, mostly from the 70s. These sounds are raw, rootsy, and psychedelic... music this week from Burkina Fasso, Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Senegal.
