While tons of compilations featuring contemporary African music have been released over the years, most of them were just half-hearted attempts at recycling mediocre music and making a few cheap bucks. Africafunk, however, is the exact opposite. Whoever compiled this killer collection definately knew what they were talking about. Even though all these tracks are from the 70's and are, in the broadest sense, "Africa-Funk", the scope of tunes is amazing. Every song represents a different facet of the genre, ranging from traditionals and afro-beat to jazzy psychedelics and funk fusion. The selection is superb, there is not one weak track on the album. Anybody who loves funk must listen to this record.
