African Head Charge - Akwaaba (1995 Acid Jazz)

Akwaaba could as well come with a subtitle African Head Charge for beginners. No, really, if you didn't know Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and his crew by now, this is a good starter before you dig deeper into their On-U Sound classics. Recorded in Ghana, mixed in London, released on Acid Jazz, all that furious nyabinghi drumming, fat bass lines and broken english chants are there, only slightly lighter and more funky than the usual gloomy claustrophobic Adrian Sherwood production. And if this isn't "acid jazz not acid jazz", then what is?
