Si, Para Usted - The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba Vol. 1

You might have guessed if you read this blog regularly that I really like a bit of world music. I feel a bit guilty that I have not written about any for a while so here is a funky collection of rare tracks from Cuba. Mmmm Communist Funk. This album really breaks away from the normal plain bossa nova sound which is connected to the country and gives a spice of Soul, Jazz, Psychedelia and even a dose of electronic experimentation.

The album was compiled by Waxing Deep Radio DJ Dan Zacks who decided to share some of the music played on his show following huge listener demand.

The album is a real treat to behold as most music from Cuba, obviously except the huge Buena Vista Social Club, is impossible to get hold of. The tracks on this album have been remastered from dusty originals found in a Havana warehouse. This is a great album, although it is not up to the standard of the recent Tropocalia collections there is certainly enough great music on this album to spice up any Christmas party.

More On This Album

Antibalas: Security

Afrobeat collective Antibalas' forth album Security expands their previous work to make a fantastic party funk album. Taking classic funk grooves and employing elements of hip hop, reggae and electronic music to create a huge full sound.

Its truely refreshing to hear music so funky and raw yet sounding so modern and fresh, production comes from Tortise cohort John McEntire this gives the music an injection of something completely new, it doesnt sound post rock but you can feel the raw energy that post-rock music encapsulates in their own sound.

By the way ATP was fantastic, there was some great performances I am just waiting to get my photos processed and I will attempt to review it.

Segu Blue

I thought I would write about something a bit different yet quite brilliant, im not overly familar with African music let alone Malian music but this is a really interesting and original album, especially compared to a lot of Western music.

Bassekou Kouyate is a musician who specialises in an instrument called the Ngoni which is basicly an African version of a lute and it makes an amazing sound. Kouyate has teamed up Ngoni Bar to create album packed full of raw soul, melody and invention.

You get really drawn into the music through the live produciton which makes the music sound like its being performed around you, a truely great album, natural and spirtual as anything as you will ever hear.
