2016 repress on colored vinyl! GUMMY SOUL's AMERIGO GAZAWAY mixes tracks from Afrobeat legend FELA KUTI with acapellas from rap pioneers DE LA SOUL to killer effect. A 33 minute long journey into the "world of afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classic hip-hop gems." 8 tracks. An awesome mashup creation. Get this!
"I came up with the concept for this project in fall of 2010. I wanted to follow through with it not only because it was a good idea, but because of the powerful impact both these artists have had on me and my music. Afrobeat, jazz, funk, and hip-hop are already so interconnected, and I always thought it would be exciting to work on a project that combined all of these elements together."
"I hope this project will help to bridge the gap between hip-hop and afrobeat, and serve an introduction for hip-hop fans and music fans alike who are unfamiliar with Fela Kuti or De La Soul's music."
