Possibly the best of the Rare Funk series, Afro Funk has a bunch of noteworthy tracks starting with a great number by Fela Kuti; Candido drops a funk bomb with "Who Is Going To Take The Weight?", "Big Chief" has been sampled by Lily Allen and there are also excellent songs by Calvin Owens and Mr.J.B himself. I'm not sure what the Mohawks are doing on this record (was Alan Hawkshaw secretly black?) but they provide a nice organ and horn groove aswell. Although this collection has been superseded by a number of great African funk compilations in the years since it's release, it still has much to offer.
