MUSHAPATA - Saba-Saba Fighting

"2025 restock. A fantastic mixture of brakka, reggae, and Afrobeat. Mushapata, a boxing champion, stepped out of the ring but kept fighting with music, lyrics, and his band, Saba-Saba Fighting. His first self-produced recordings reveal a rough mix of lo-fi reggae, Afrobeat rhythms accompanied by a brass section close to free jazz. The nonchalant sounding voices of Mushapata and Tshayi complete this explosive cocktail and carry in Swahili language. the pan-African ideas of Lumumba, and other great figures of African-American struggles. Recorded between 1980 and 1984. Includes liner notes in English, French, and Japanese."
