Ethiopian Jazz

...Kidding. I didn't...really I didn't

There are always Afrobeat nights on at the Ritzy in Brixton... Check it out...

mental afrojazz.. these guys rock the farkin' house..

les Freres Smith - Doucement - YouTube

That should have gone in AFROBEAT thread.

oops sorry..

Maybe we'll need a merge, Ethiopian jazz IS Afrobeat.

Boom!

flavoursome all the same.
I only popped on to say saw Lee Perry last night,stood right at the front and shook his hand like a proper fanboy, the mixing fingers of a legend-- in real life--- still buzzing about it. He did some mad dubstep 'sun is shining', took he liberty of stopping tracks when he wanted, telling the d/js they were playing the set list wrong, then realising they werent and it was his confusion- lol. but I liked the old heavy heavy stuff best, Roast fish and cornbread, Blackboard jungle dub- ace.
anyway back to the music, laters musos :)

i love lee 'scratch' perry.. from coxone, trojan, studio one.. to more recent collaborations.. with beastie boys..

Les Freres Smith, have an incredible line up of talent, for a collective sound which operates outside normal record deals and scumbag music industry, all with underground / guerilla tactics within paris. i hope the radio stations across europe give them the exposure they deserve.. london or paris, i would pay good money to hear them live,

daniel smith has replied saying LFS should be in town 2012 :))
