GILLES PETERSON in AFRICA
After the huge success of Gilles Peterson in Brazil the man travels back to the source with Gilles Peterson in Africa. When he was a regular guest at the peerless, mythical Mambo Inn, Afro Funk and Afrocentric influences, especially Fela Kuti and Manu Dibango, were always in the mix. And both Fela and Manu are represented here, together with some of their disciples.
Gilles Peterson in Africa touches down in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cameroon, South Africa, Sierra Leone, and the Cape Verde islands with considerable contributions from giants of the contemporary club scene and remixing royalty such as Masters at Work, Carl Craig, Dennis Ferrer, IG Culture and Blaze alongside purveyors of 21st Century Afrobeat such as Antibalas and Wunmi.
So does Gilles succeed in making an album of grooves for Afro fans and an album of Afro tunes for groove seekers? Of course, and even if some of the tracks are familiar to anoraks, there is no compilation quite like it.
Released on Ether Records (ETHCD005) 25 April, 2005
Interesting Note:
The artwork for this album was done by Chariokwu Lemi, who designed 25 of Fela’s sleeves over the years.
