Hey Eddie
yeh Afrobeat does not get the airtime it deserves
for Fela I recommend the albums Gentleman and Zombie
two compilations with some of the best afrobeat I have listened to recently are Ghana Soundz Vol. 1, and also Afro Baby has some outstanding Lagos afrobeat tracks
Gerard Pino is also worth checking out
West Africa is rich in heavy, funky sounds - I hear there are also great dancefloor beats in Benin
some of those Hip Hop fellas should give sampling the JBs a break and check out tracks like Ageisheka by the Ogyatanaa Show Band ... that tune exists in a funk dimension accessible only via .....
