Ogyatanaa Show Band - Disco Africa
What can I tell you about these guys? Sampled by Madlib, remixed by Quantic, the original was a pretty rare print that first appeared this side of the pond of the “Ghana Soundz 2” compilation. The leads me to believe that they’re from Ghana. There’s often a shameful lack of information out of the ‘tubes about African music, which frankly, is racist, and if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Attica!
As the title suggests, you’re getting a hodgepodge, a gumbo even, a West African peanut soup if you will, of Afrobeat and Disco served up here. That bassline is so fucking primal it makes me want to slaughter mammoths and eat placentas, yet the congas make me want to have a hoity-toity dinner party and swap wives. I’m conflicted, but either way I’d like this song played during the consummation of my next marriage. WHO ELSE IS HUNGRY?
