Uta Bella – Monboulae
https://amf.didiermary.fr/uta-bella-monboulae/
Very old stuff from French TV (ORTF) in 1969, a live music show called “Pulsation”. The Diva Uta Bella starts singing @ 2:38. In the first part, you’ll see a very young Manu Dibango playing the organ…
Ich höre seit Tagen nur noch Fela Kuti und bekomme nicht genug von der Musik. Ich habe ihn schon früher viel gehört, aber noch nie so intensiv wie jetzt

"For their 5th album, Vaudou Game's influences have spread beyond the city and country limits, crossing the Atlantic to reach Colombia.
Magnetized, the tropical waves traveled along the equator from Latin America to Togo."
Vaudou Game live @ Afrikafestival Hertme in 2015, after the release of their album Apiafo.

AfroFunk Mixed
https://amf.didiermary.fr/afrofunk-compilation/
A (too) short eclectic selection of Psychedelic, AfroFunk, AfroDisco and AfroLatino tracks, some remixed, from various origins and decades…
A few alternative vibes too, if you listen to the whole playlist.
Enjoy!
Manu Dibango – African Battle
https://amf.didiermary.fr/manu-dibango-african-battle/
Originally credited as Manu Dibango’s African Battle on the compilation, and later changed to Soul Fiesta. But the real track is “The Panther”, IMHO….

Was El Rego Benin’s Godfather of Funk? Listen to El Rego et Ses Commandos, an album released in 2011.
“There’s lots of James Brown in there, but while other Benin singers of the period are more scary than funky when they echo Soul Brother Number One, El Rego makes restraint sound not only more fun, […]"
