Keeping the tempo high we usher in fellow Cameroonians JM Tim and Foty for another punch of brass with the funky \u003ci\u003eMore And More (Ye-Male)\u003c\/i\u003e. We stay in Cameroon with Ngalle Jojo, here he lays down another funktastic bass heavy stomper with \u003ci\u003eNgigna Loko\u003c\/i\u003e. Jude Bondeze hails from Bangui, Central African Republic and is probably best known for his more traditional Tene Sango album... but his debut 1981 release saw him in a very funky mood indeed! Next up, Nigerian Vicky Edimo gets his thumb out and lays down some glorious slabs of deep funk... along with a rather splendid bass solo! JK Mandengue played bass off and on for the British Afrobeat band \u003ci\u003eOsibisa\u003c\/i\u003e, playing on the uber funky \u003ci\u003eSuper Fly TNT\u003c\/i\u003e Motion Picture Soundtrack album.. Certainly putting him on a path to the Wahahwah'tastic \u003ci\u003eKosa Mba\u003c\/i\u003e taken from his 1979 self-titled album. Slow percussive classic raw street funk from Nigeria's Akwassa, who's line up is the same as \u003ci\u003eHeads Funk Band\u003c\/i\u003e, are up next. Another outing for Vicky Edimo on this 1978 beauty from Mike Kounou. Also on guitar duties for Mike Kounou is Francois Amadou Corea, who's funky chops can be heard on \u003ci\u003eNgigna Loko\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNjonjo Mukambe\u003c\/i\u003e. Hi-Octane funk from Airto Fogo, percussion, rhodes and horns aplenty on this 1974 instrumental cut \u003ci\u003eBlack Soul\u003c\/i\u003e. As we prepare to start our decent Francois Misse Ngoh drops in some filth with this 1980 bass face monster \u003ci\u003eNjonjo Mukambe\u003c\/i\u003e... head nodding isn't essential, but it's best to brace yourself for impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour next Africa Airways departure will be ready for boarding soon, so keep your passports at the ready!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Africa Seven","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50463880380747,"sku":"1092832","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/africa-airways-six-mile-high-funk-1974-1981","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
