Kon & Amir | Off Track Vol. III: Brooklyn (Coming April 26th, 2010)

Off Track III finds the New York/Boston-based pair shining light on
another diverse array of underexposed vinyl. The eclectic African disco
and soul cuts Amir highlights on his disc are Americanized by style but
inherently authentic in feel, demonstrating the very best of the
region’s dance music from the period following Fela Kuti’s mid-70s
creative peak. Some standouts: Tee Mac’s 1980’s insistently catchy
‘Living Everyday’; Effi Duke’s percussive masterpiece ‘The Time Is
Come’; and Christy Essien’s glorious ‘You Can’t Change’, which features
famed bandleader Geraldo Pino’s Show Train outfit. Also in the mix are
a couple of cuts from unsung Nigerian star Dizzy K. Falola aimed at
sophisticated dancefloors.
