AJATE – Abrada (180GLP01)
“A joyous and mind-blowing combination of Afrofunk rhythms and traditional Japanese instrumentation, “Abrada” is kaleidoscopic party music.” – Andrew Jervis, Bandcamp
“Fela Kuti-esque funk with a Nippon twist. From the drum-circle hypno-chanting of ‘Butakasa’ to the slow-rolling, Onyeabor-hued ‘Okamin’ Abrada is a joyful ride that merges afrofunk with traditional Ohayashi music.” – Gabriela Helfet, The Vinyl Factory
“Crazy crazy record here! Trad Japanese folk music meets juju afro-funk with a heavy live sound and killer percussion. Did we mention there are ten members and the bamboo xylophone makes an appearance? The drums are off the chain here and the fast paced string instruments help bring the whole thing into the fold. Add some more spaced out, mellow parts and beautiful hypnotic vocals and you have the best mutant commune rock album you’ve never heard. For fans of Toshiaki Yokota’s Primitive Community et al.” – Bleep.com
