Promo Listening Experiment Day 5
Jun. 16th, 2008 11:59 pmSeun Kuti and Fela's Egypt 80 "Many Things": Rolling African rhythm, but it's tense and compacted, as you'd expect from a band that drew lots of its style from James Brown. Seun Kuti's voice isn't as flexible as his dad's was; the strength of this is the general push of the music, horns massing forcefully on top, saxophones playing riffs beneath. Dark mood from the winds, blasts of funk and fury from the horns. TICK.
