Afro-Funk & Soul From the 1970s and Today

I’m a big fan of African music.

And Friday’s pick brings us one reissue and one new band doing old-school style, African music.

The reissue is by the group BLO (Berkley Jones/guitar, Laolu Akintobi/drums and Mike Odumosu/bass).

They’re Nigerian musicians from the 1970s and disbanded in 1982.

Their reissue is called “Step Three”.

Another album that caught my attention is by a new group called KonKoma.

Although it’s a newly recorded album, it definitely has that 1970s Afro-soul sound.
