Recorded in Paris and New York under the
production guidance of Pierre Jaubert ("Berjot"), the Lafayette
Afro-Rock Band were a jazz-based super session group that created a
heavy, dense, no compromise ghetto funk that has since been sampled by
everyone from Public Enemy to Wreckz 'N' Effect.
After the first
release of the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band, Soul Makossa, everyone was
quick to recognize such an abundance of talent in one group. The
response was immediate to the new rhythm in their music, which was to
delve into the contemporary disco scene with Malik.
At this
point, we could go on and on, but for those who already know the band,
you will be fully aware of what we mean. For those who are listening for
the first time, the Lafayette Afro-Rock Bands bandwagon is becoming
larger and is ready to take people on their heaviest musical trip!
