Republic of Sofrito // Hugo Mendez Mix for Red Bull Studios Paris

RELEASED 28th August 2015
Format: CD

At Africa Seven we are proud to present the third in our series of Manu Dibango re-issues. For your delight this time is 'Home Made', a 4 tracker of epic African musicianship.  Recorded in 1979 the albums bedrock of Rhythms was recorded in Nigeria.  This creates an infectious and addictive afrobeat groove for the album.  Overdubs and mix downs were then carried out in Paris adding layers of sheen and expansive jazz groove.    As the sleeve notes themselves note  'This album is dedicated to all brothers for a better vibration'.

“Manu Dibango is a restless spirit and refuses to rest on his considerable laurels. His new album made in Nigeria is here to prove that Manu is now making an important turning point in his career. His inner curiosity which demands investigations continues to stretch barriers and break new grounds. As he likes saying: 'Communication is the key'.

He is probably one of the most sophisticated of the African musicians; and also one of those who have really made it in the international music scene. He's certainly gone places, but thinks there's nothing left to do but bring the music back to where it belongs.

His recent tour of Nigeria is a revelation. It was his first appearance in this great African nation, where he performed and recorded with local musicians.

Africa has been torn into pieces; but the experience has proved that the people are still there. No matter what language they speak.

This album is dedicated to all brothers for a better vibration.”

- Louise Edimo.

Professor Rhythm’s 1991 recording Professor 3 is a vivid reflection of urban South Africa as apartheid was ending. Thami Mdluli’s production project had young and old dancing to a sound that sought to unite Blacks within Southern Africa. “Our music gave hope to the hopeless,” he says. 

Professor Rhythm’s third instrumental album (which contains some background vocals, to be exact), portrays the moment when the dominant mbaqanga and American R&B-based bubblegum sounds being produced in Johannesburg and other urban centers were transforming into house and hip-hop-inspired kwaito. The pop of the 80’s and all that went with it—from the models of synths and drum machines to the lyrical style—gave way to a changing melodic emphasis and new, much slower tempi using a completely different rhythmic skeleton. Upbeat, chipper bubblegum, often with double-time breakdowns and upstroke syncopations, faded and the sounds began to more closely resemble those of contemporary Black America—where hip-hop was slowing down and the bass-lines and melodies were getting moodier, darker in general. At the same time house music had briefly reached mainstream acceptance in the States and that popularity continued to feed into awareness overseas. These two influences blended with the burgeoning house music scenes in Johannesburg and Pretoria as Professor Rhythm 3 was being produced in March 1991 (the same year apartheid ended). Mdluli explains, “We were Influenced by foreign bands and so people updated their sound.”

According to Mdluli, the evolving sound was bolstered by widening availability of house and rap records from abroad while, most importantly, an increasing sense that apartheid might soon be finished was met with a new positivity vibe society. “1991, ’92, ’93… Mandela was released. People were upbeat, they were happy, the music was good.”

Professor 3 came out on vinyl as the LP business was dying in South Africa and sold around 20,000 copies. It was mainly distributed on tape, which sold closer to 100,000. With the help of engineer Fab Rosso, the recording features backing vocalists from Mango Groove.

After making a half-dozen records as Professor Rhythm, Mdluli once again shifted his focus musically. By the mid-90’s he had veered off gospel music—and left playing in bands and started making his own solo recordings. His enormous success in the gospel realm in the years since is a remarkable story in its own right, but for now we are only dancing.

Geri Baird - Backside of the Desert (DJ Patience YachtRock Remix)

The B side is Spanglish’s instrumental take on “Chain of Fools” (immortalized by Aretha Franklin’s version), here in a new, stripped-down-raw mix/edit by DJ LeSpam (Spam All-Stars), who says “I wanted it to sound like an old funk 45.” Inspired by Mongo Santamaria’s Latin covers of 60s/70s soul hits, the track is propelled by a 5-piece percussion section that includes a guest appearance by Snowboy, stalwart of the Latin music movement in the UK. Passing through New York City during the sessions for Spanglish’s Ay Que Boogaloo! LP (2018), Snowboy hit the studio and lit up the congas for a few takes.
