Released in 1973, this two-track affair pairs the title track—a hypnotic, percussion-driven exploration rooted in Cameroonian makossa rhythms—with \"Hot Mud,\" which builds its own head of steam through layered horns and insistent grooves. The record sits somewhere between the experimental ethos of early-seventies world music exploration and the genuine funkiness that was beginning to permeate European studios; it's neither anthropological documentation nor mere pastiche, but rather a sincere translation where respect for source material meets the unconditional energy of funk. For collectors drawn to the era's boundary-pushing crossovers and the particular alchemy of Pan Records' catalog, this remains a compelling listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails
