For the last 10 years or so the iconic blend of African folk, American jazz and funk, and percussive horn, drum and chant oriented music called Afro Beat has experienced a grand revival. Dozens of new bands worldwide consciously carrying the legacy of Fela Kuti into the new century. JariBu Afrobeat Arkestra is one of those new bands on the scene. Spiritually influenced by the great Fela Kuti, ?JariBu? which means ?Try? in Swahili, have created their own ?Neo Afrobeat? sound, interweaving traditional Afro Beat with funk and jazz sounds. After the release of their debut album entitled Afro Sound System they started to search for ways to expand and develop their sound and began recording their second album, ?Mediacracy?. This 7? contains special DJ edits of Tricky Liars and Afro Soul Knows. The full versions can be enjoyed on the aforementioned album on 2LP, CD and digital download. |
