   This short snippet did take me away…you could really appreciate and feel the passion for this deeply rooted music…the history is etched and echoed on the old timers who speak of its orgins particluarly the one who got a little emotionally choked up when recalling the passing of a fellow artist…looks like a great flick to peep and I will definetly put my brother and others on

   This looks like it’s going to be amazing. In my opinion the African aesthetic is poised to blow up in a big way.

   Thanx for posting this.
   Please check out the club night behind this movie project every Thursday at Santos. There are video projections with more footage like this and you’ll get to hear the rarest and heaviest Afrobeat records ever…
