Premiere: Muanradio 42 ( cut)

Jamaican saxophonist & arranger Cedric Im Brooks is one of my most cherished reggae artist. Actually, confining him to the reggae scene would be a massive understatement. 
A brilliant musician, he kept on blurring the lines between spiritual Free-jazz (think Sun Ra), Afro grooves (think Fela), Latin rhythms and, of course, Reggae. 
A cornerstone of legendary label Studio One, his musical legacy is impressive and if you're not familiar with him, I urge you to dig into his most famous albums, mostly recorded in the 70's with his band The Light Of Saba ("United Africa", "Im Flash Forward" or "The Magical Light Of Saba") & get ready for some colourful funky journey.

"Africa" is one of my favorite track by him, an afro-funk jam whose joyful & infectious horns chorus is hard to resist. With a clear hint at the "back to Motherland" Rasta myth, "Africa" is also a great example of Cedric's spiritual Rastafari faith, often present in his songs lyrics.
Here is my DJ-friendly nudisco-flavored edit of it.

Cheers,

Jm / V4YS

Cedric Im Brooks - Africa (V4YS Motherland Edit)

The summer breeze is never far away when the Barefoot Beats posse are in town! The limited edition 10 “ vinyl series continues in some style with two mighty contributions from NYC taste maker JKriv and Rio’s very own rising star Joutro Mundo. 

Razor n Tape head honcho JKriv kicks things off with a seriously loose and funk-heavy groove that hits as hard as a mango caipirinha at dawn. While over on the flip, Joutro Mundo puts stars in our eyes with his deep and hypnotic Brasilian vibes. 

The Barefoot vibe is strong!!!

Yoruba Singers - Black Pepper
Dj Friendly Edit By Petko Turner.

The music of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, Togo, and Benin are perhaps best known for an extremely advanced drumming tradition, especially using the dundun hourglass tension drums. Yoruba folk music became perhaps the most prominent kind of West African music in Afro-Latin and Caribbean musical styles. Yorùbá music left an especially important influence on the music used in Lukumi practice and the music of Cuba. For a comprehensive discussion of Yoruba music, see Bode Omojola's book, Yoruba Music in the Twentieth Century (University of Rochester Press, 2012).

Eskill & Vicky Accompagnées Par Le T.P. Poly Rythmo - Écoute Ma Mélodie Edit By Mr Turner

Africa is the richest continent on planet earth: Africa is actually one the wealthiest continents in the world in terms of natural resources. Many countries in Africa contain rich reserves of valuable minerals like coltan, diamonds, gold, and bauxite, as well as other valuable commodities like oil, gas, and timber. With such an abundance of resources, the people of Africa should be among the richest in the world. While there are many wealthy people living on the African continent, this wealth has not historically translated into better living conditions for the average African person. There are numerous reasons for this including european colonization, corruption, armed conflict or rebellion, as well as the policies of international financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

Oumou Sangaré - Yala (Dylan Glanz edit)

In 1977 'Malinga Five' released a rare afro funk album on Barclay in France. 'Marie Thérèse' is one of the songs on this album, it's an uptempo version of the original, produced by Black Blood. We really loved this version and decided to give it a modern touch so it can pump through proper club sound systems and rock dance floors! It's a free DL, hope you enjoy :).
