The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa
Psychedelic Africa
Here’s a Global Hit about a recent collection of music recorded in Africa during the 1960s and early 70s.
The album is called “The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa.”
This psychedelic, funkadelic music was heavily influenced by soul music from James Brown and other artists in the US.
Here’s three tracks I’ll focus on:
“Guitar Boy” by Victor Uwaifo
“Nga Nga by Ebo Taylor
“Eruq Yaleshaw” by Alemayenu Eshete
