Merry Christmas And Happy New Year - Sidiku Buari (Revolution (Live Disco Show In New York City), 1979)

A surefire Afro-Funk classic, long treasured by collectors across the globe, the fantastic self-titled LP from Ghanaian singing/percussion sensation Sidiku Buari nevertheless remains a criminally hard-to find gem.
Originally released on RCA in 1975, this is, quite simply, a ridiculous record. This super-rare album boasts an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside Buari as he blends heavy African rhythms with American soul-funk grooves. The arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is stacked with killer tracks including "Advice From Father" (sampled brilliantly by Kenny Dope) and "Ku Ka Maria", with its intense, neck-snapping breaks and funky drumming from legend Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie. Purdie is in the pocket for the entirety of this stunning LP - the drumming is just straight out of hand; so varied yet so precise.
It's not hard to fathom why these tracks have always been huge on the b-boy/breaking scene. Other standouts include the wonderful disco-tinged afro monsters "Karam Bani" and "Iro Le Pa" plus the cool laidback groove of "Them Yebtheyet".

TRUST is valuable and must be held in high esteem so when someone you TRUST so much betrays you, it becomes difficult to trust another. As I always say no matter how difficult it is to trust human beings you have no option than to trust someone since you can’t work with robots or animals but higher mammals.
I had the opportunity to attend some of Carlos Sakyi’s lectures when they were struggling…

From 1977, Buari performing "Koko Si." I originally had thought this was about cocaine, but instead this is an African phrase for "making love." Happy Valentine's Day!
