Channeling the vintage sound of 1970s Sudanese funk, the London-based outfit blends East African rhythms with psych guitar licks, brass-heavy soul, and call-and-response vocals that feel both archival and urgent. Traditional pentatonic melodies meet bassline grit, while raw percussion drives everything forward.

Sung in Arabic and driven by hypnotic polyrhythms, this LP doesn’t just pay homage—it expands the legacy. Recorded live and full of edge, it’s an unpolished celebration of diasporic funk that never loses the party energy. Essential listening for fans of Habibi Funk, Ethio-jazz, and Afrobeat with teeth.
