1970s-Inspired Afrobeat | Raw West African Grooves — Volume Eight

One hour of raw 1970s-inspired Afrobeat built around driving polyrhythmic drums, deep cyclical bass, interlocking electric guitars and punchy brass arrangements. Volume Eight continues the Afrobeat Archives 1970s series with loose live percussion, hypnotic guitar patterns, warm analogue character and extended instrumental grooves inspired by the sound and energy of West African Afrobeat from the 1970s. Recorded as a continuous listening session with changing horn arrangements, shifting guitar patterns and long rhythmic passages designed to keep the groove moving without modern electronic production. Ideal for long listening sessions, working, driving or simply putting on a record and letting it play. 00:00 Bring My Change 02:18 Five Naira Short 05:46 Landlord Knocking 07:55 Petrol Don Finish 10:55 Who Took It? 13:30 Power Don Go 16:26 Office Closed 18:48 Bus Conductor 21:20 Money Palaver 24:13 Wait for Me 26:25 Lagos Is Full 29:54 No Vacancy 32:34 Big Man Talking 35:25 Market Woman 38:15 Pay Me Today 41:07 Trouble at Apapa 43:27 My Brother Wait 46:03 Government Letter 49:29 Four Wives 52:20 Police at Yaba 55:08 Nothing for Free 58:07 Tomorrow Again Subscribe to Afrobeat Archives 1970s for new vintage-inspired Afrobeat sessions.
