Let's see. The Daktaris released Soul Explosion on the Desco label in 1998. I think it's somewhat safe to say that all this business going down in the mid the late nineties marked the start of the Brooklyn Afrobeat revival. For those of you not obsessed with all these increasingly less obscure Brooklyn labels, Desco predated and eventually melded into Daptone, once Gabriel Roth and Philip Lehman went their separate ways.
Anyway, this was billed as being an authentic 1970s recording from Nigeria, but these dudes is white. As white as a sheet. Which is hilarious.
Enjoy!
