In 2018 our man Bela Patrutzi and Samy Ben Redjeb (Analog Africa) travelled to Benin City - the capital of the Nigerian Edo state. They were there to search for the remaining traces of Edo Funk - An ingenious hybrid crossing Highlife with funk, afrobeat, disco and reggae developed in the early 80s by a group of musicians from the Edo region. After much crate digging and tracking down and meeting some of the pioneering artists of the scene they put together a compilation that is now out on Analog Africa. To celebrate the release we will be talking to Bela about his experiences and hearing some of the best original Edo Funk bangers he has to offer.
