Liberators, The
The Liberators
From Sydney debut album from this afrobeat/jazz-dance supergroup with members of Dojo Cuts. Special guest JoJo Kuo (Fela/Egypt 80/Daktaris) and Roxie Ray. Gilles Peterson and Snowboy already amongst the fans. The self-titled debut effort by The Liberators is a solid example of the type of new afro-inspired funk that is rivaling the greatness of classics from 70s Africa. With a fierce array of super heavy guitars, percussion, and horns ??" all put together with a range of sounds that really portray the full spectrum of their style ??" The Liberators serve up some sizzling treats! From opening stormer "Multiculture", to the kicking rhythm of "Rags To Riches", the uplifting "Liberation" or the jazzy inflections of "Denga" featuring legendary drummer JoJo Kuo on vocals, this album is a tightly delivered assortment of funky afrobeat tunes with a jazz-dance flavor. Turn on your air-conditioning people, the heat is on!
