About Soul Makossa
Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s 1973 album Soul Makossa – recorded by an American funk band in France Became an unlikely building block for hip-hop, sampled hundreds of times by more producers than can be listed. Released in 1973, Soul Makossa is the highest-octane fossil fuel capable of bubbling up from the soil. If it failed to explode commercially, it created a subterranean rumbling for decades. It’s replete with rich musicality, a filthy and scabrous but meticulous funk that hip-hop producers skinned like the Native Americans preserved the buffalo. This is revered wax, each horn part, drum break, and keyboard riff has been held up to the heavens by dusty-fingered alchemists Tracklisting A1 Soul Makossa Written-By – Dibango A2 Azeta Written-By – Abel A3 Oglenon Written-By – McEwan B1 Voodounon Written-By – Young B2 Hihache Written-By – Gomes B3 Nicky Written-By – Hudson B4 M.F.
