Follow The Path
The Shaolin Afronauts are a London-based ensemble blending African rhythmic traditions with jazz improvisation and psychedelic textures. Follow The Path, their 2014 double album on Freestyle Records, moves between driving afrobeat grooves, free-jazz explorations, and hypnotic instrumental passages. The band draws equally from West African percussion traditions, 1970s jazz fusion, and contemporary electronic production. There's real energy here—propulsive, joyful, and intellectually curious. The music swings and dances while leaving room for contemplation and depth. This is becoming increasingly sought-after, reflecting both the band's growing reputation and the scarcity of original pressings. Perfect entry point into afrobeat, jazz fusion, and contemporary world music.
