From Angola to Zimbabwe, Yam Yam's lexicon of African influences spans the mighty continent. Other musical influences are drawn from a diversity of styles from dance to electronica and post punk to dub reggae.</div> <bR> <div> This isn't a blunt fusion of a few world music samples stuck into techno house beats. EATDUBAFROBEAT is a celebration of an older generation of Africa's popular musicians. The upside…? A new internationalism that means that both Africa and Europe can build a culture where we can all find common ground.</div> <bR> <div> EATDUBAFROBEAT features the single Bahama Mama using a quirky looping vocal reminiscent of Del the Funky Homosapien's Mr Doubleina. The album's first track is a Congolese-inspired love song Isabella's Rhumba. It goes via Mali to Nigeria for the Afrobeat dance anthem Banana Heater. It then uses pounding 6/8 rhythms for Antelope and finishes on a Kraut Rock / Television-influenced one chord rock-out for the finale Aeroplane. Yam Yam's idea was to produce a record of diverse influences to genuinely do something new with the great African dance music of the 70s and 80s. Bands like the Bhundu Boys turned a generation of punks onto African music in the 80's - Fela Kuti turned on a generation of Jazz Funk fans to Afrobeat. Can Yam Yam do the same for the post-dance post-rave generation? Here's the album EATDUBAFROBEAT - make up your own mind…</div> <bR> <div> The album EATDUBAFROBEAT is distributed by Vital and is available online and on Compact Disc. You can order it at Amazon or from the Big Chill website at <A HREF="http://www.bigchill.net" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.bigchill.net"><U>www.bigchill.net</U></A>.
