so i came across this record the other day and though 'oh cool a Masekela record with the word techno on it and weird drawings of keyboards, this has to be good'
once i put it on it made me think of matt and sufi's trip and that someone had shown up in south africa in 82' or something with a bunch of italo-disco records for Masekela to listen to. Albeit, most of the album is not laced with italo riffs, but the stand out song "don't go lose it baby" is. it retains some of Masekela's sound but blends it well with cheesy keyboards (it sounds great).
now for the questions:
1. Can anyone give other examples of say an indigenous sound's interpretation on a different type of music?
2. Matt and Sufi, have you come across anything that may have been directly influenced by your trip to the west coast of africa?
