Continuing further into the music of 1970s East Africa, Soundway present a limited edition 10" of raw, bluesy garage-funk-rock from Jimmy Mawi.

Jimmy Mawi was a Madagascan guitarist based in Nairobi in the mid 1970s. He cut only three 45s for EMI East Africa on their Pathe imprint that have virtually disappeared from sight in the nearly 40 years since they were recorded. Soundway reproduce four of the best tracks here on a super limited edition 10".  Fuzz guitars, raspy vocals and metronomic drumming combine for an exhaustive afro-rock workout.

Earlier this year Soundway released their compilation Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s & ‘80s. Accompanied by a limited re-mix 12” these releases represent Soundway’s first releases from the East African country and follows from their much acclaimed African ‘Special’ series that to date has focused on the highlife and afrobeat output from 1970s Nigeria and Ghana.

"Following Padme EP, co-produced with Gomorra and released on Origami Sound, Dersu returns with a throbbing four-track EP, a fusion of sounds. In its 25-minute entirety, Dersu synthesizes sounds from the mountainous range of the orient, the flat dunes of the scorching Sahara desert, the swampy lands of New Orleans to Berlin techno scenes into afresh air. Dersu EP is a musical fabric woven with ruminants of jazz, trance-inducing Afro-percussions, obscured vocals, soothing chimes and horns, sublime funk basslines underneath well crafted house beats. Dersu is part of Basel based Alma Negra with previous releases on Sofrito, Basic fingers, Highlife & New Kanada"

We’re very proud to present here the first of two legendary ‘lost’ albums both previously available only as rare-as-hen’s teeth private presses, from one Samuel K. Mfojo, the man known as Rim Kwaku Obeng.
As well as heralding the arrival as solo artist of an exciting new drummer, the title of his 1977 debut, Rim Arrives, also makes reference to the long struggle Kwaku had in getting to that point. To say that he ‘paid his dues’ is an understatement!

The Mabon Dawud Republic, Hungary’s first all-star progressive afrobeat ensemble started as the Fela Kuti tribute band for the very first Felabration event in Budapest, organised by the band itself and joined by Fela’s original Egypt 80 band member, keyboard player and singer Dele Sosimi. Given the member’s love for afrobeat, the jamming soon evolved into a project of own songs. Their republic is a place filled with the soul-warming vibes of a 15 piece orchestra, a place for dancers, a place to escape from the outside world and enjoy the magic that is unfolding on stage. 
The Mabon Dawud feeling is delivered to you by professional musicians who are also members of other well known Hungarian underground acts, such as: The Qualitons, SoulClap Budapest, Sena Live Band, etc. 
Budabeats Records is proud the release their first ever record in form of a 7” vinyl single with two heavy afrobeat cuts.
