BUDOS BAND - SELF TITLED





















http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jh73l6q9xvf416n

Track 1 - Up From The South
Track 2 - T.I.B.W.F
Track 3 - Budos Theme
Track 4 - Ghost Walk
Track 5 - Monkey See, Monkey Do
Track 6 - Sing A Simple Song
Track 7 - Eastbound
Track 8 - Aynotchesh Yererfu
Track 9 - King Charles
Track 10 - The Volcano Song
Track 11 - Across The Atlantic

This is the 2005 debut from the Budos Band. The group consists of between 10 to 13 members depending on requirements and are based in Staten Island, New York City. I like to think of their sound as being like an African funk band that has become lost in the Amazon, smoked a lot of heroin and then started playing. It is heavy, smoky and pulsating with a depth of sound you would expect from having all those members. This album is all quality and is an excellent addition to any funk or afro music collection. It was released by the fantastic Daptone Records.

The is brilliant. Rich, full sound. Love the stick percussion. Reminiscent of 'Amorphous Androgynous'.
