HEAVY!! Ivory Coast Soul

Whooooaaaaaa! Yet another 70s afrofunk compilation… this one caught our attention though. Maybe because it has Pierre Antoine’s BANGING track Kalabuley Women. Clocking in at 11:40, it should get you going for a while. Grab this comp in iTunes, follow Julien Lebrun, bossman behind the Hot Casa Records imprint. And if you still want more, check out this super deep set by Frank of Voodoofunk, which also incorporates Kalabuley Women… make sure to read about it and grab the playlist on his blog.
