{"product_id":"wganda-kenya-africa-5000","title":"Wganda Kenya- Africa 5000 (Vinyl)-BoldPlay","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Wganda Kenya was ahead of it's time, anticipating current contemporary Afro-Latin-funk trends in a prescient way that has inspired a legion of fans across the globe. As part of that legacy, Africa 5000 (1975) has a legendary reputation as one of Discos Fuentes' best hard-to-find Afro Caribbean funk records and is a highly prized collector's piece. This LP features several classic dance floor gems as well as some lesser-known nuggets and a non-album bonus cut, plus informative notes. The epic 'La torta' ('The Cake') kicks things off with a lively Colombian interpretation of Haitian compas. The tune is still remembered as a big picó (amplified sound system) hit at the verbenas (outdoor dance parties). 'Fiebre de lepra' ('Leprosy Fever') was also released as a 45 single and is certainly one of Wganda Kenya's wilder tracks. Funky wah-wah guitar, makossa style bass, manic organ, and feverishly insane vocals (from Wilson \"Saoko\" Manyoma and Joe Arroyo) indicate that Fruko and his pals were having a ball goofing around in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59805447291205,"sku":"8435008864248","price":32.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/5267\/6677\/files\/4131922-2877692.jpg?v=1792395303","url":"https:\/\/jg1gp0-u4.myshopify.com\/products\/wganda-kenya-africa-5000","provider":"BoldPlay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
