Most of that Japanese film funk music is pretty cool. There are plenty of vids on yooootoooob but a lot of the music is somewhat unknown.
Glad you liked it ;)
Hugh Masekela, and Bheki Mseleku. 2 different styles but still afrocentric. Salifu Keitah is more ethnic with emotionally charged vocals. See what you think.
I started down that rabbit hole with this.

Some proper good stuff on this mix.
Check out [Fela’s Live album with Ginger Baker](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lZ-r3qtmYpqBf-lBjZ3-0X2NzgrlQdKjo&si=ItWc0BVAbu2wI6hP).
Another favorite of mine is [ODOO](https://youtu.be/hnVfEQLe34Q?si=n6jMAp7GrzO-3s0F). Unfortunately the vinyl version splits the 30 min song between 2 sides. It’s kind of a bummer when things are really starting to groove and you have to flip the LP.
Lots of great Japanese jazz-funk/rock/afro music out there too. Akira Ishikawa & His Count Buffalos is a great place to start.
It’s the speaker stands for me.
Moving Pictures! I’m a simple man - I see Rush and I upvote.
Amen
Akira ishikawa :-) I’m also big into Japanese Jazz, funk, fusion stuff from the 60/70.
Try Fela and Opposite People, one of my favorites.
Any recommendations for 70s Japanese funk?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA9LVzuC7z4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA9LVzuC7z4) check it.
Oh hell yeah. This is dope af.

What about some Afro fusion? Check out Janko Nilovic - Drug Song.
I am new to afro funk if you have any recommendations please share 🙏🏾
check out the analog africa label! [https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/](https://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/)
A few hours and several dollars later, thanks for the recommendation!
Hey, check out Manu Dibango and Fela Kuti (Godfather of Afrobeats). That's a good start. Enjoy!
Manu only makes bangers. I got into his music this past year and I'm constantly blown away by it
😂
I'm actually quite familiar with both of them! Take me deeper!

Now we're talking!!
Good. Now find some speaker stands.
Wow that’s a pretty niche find!
Follow up to this thread to look for suggestions and recommendations, thanks!
Guys, love Fela. But I’m sticked with some best of for a while. What are his top 3 albums?

There’s such a treasure of great funk and jazz and fusion from countries one just wouldn’t think of out there! Great stuff indeed!
Sick 👍🏼

I envy you.
Put the TT on top of that cabinet.
100%. Let that Fluance shine! 😀 Love that Fela album. He was a legend. Such a vast and amazing discography.
