afrobeat

We’ve always been late late in dealing with the passing year; but this time we’re way into the new one. God only knows what next year will bring but knowing that lots of readers are still hunting good albums from 2008 here’s one final post about 2008 with a cream of the crop selection and we go straight to 2009! Promise!

Coincident with this week’s neosoul/hiphop vibes here’s a mix with jazz + neosoul + nu school hiphop + funk + afrobeat + disco elements. One highlight is Mor Thiam’s `Ayo Ayo Nene` which was recently included in a compilation called Spiritual Jazz, but thanks to a comment by our avid reader Henri, a rip of the original vinyl release can be found on El Reza.
