‘Peace Love & Unity’
Afro Dizzi Act
(Vitamin Records)
As one of Brisbane/ Nth NSW’s most active and wildly talented funk
collectives, Afro Dizzi Act have been forging a path through Afrobeat,
dub, and heavy funk for more than a decade, bringing a ton of good
vibes to the masses over the years. Since hooking up with Senegalese
Kora master and vocalist Jali Buba Kuyateh four years ago, they have
headed deeper into the heart of Africa, and this is reflected on their
latest release, ‘Peace Love & Unity’. A brilliant live band, Afro have
captured their vibe perfectly here - anyone who caught them at Island
Vibe can attest to their power. This is true Afrobeat, strongly
influenced by masters such as Fela Kuti - layers of simple rhythm
cascade and mesh together to form a hypnotic and, overall, complex
beast of a sound that can’t fail to get feet tapping and heads
nodding. Throughout tracks like ‘Toubabau’ and ‘The Pilgrem Returns’,
there is a sunny, heady vibe that just screams authentic, good time
summer music. The rhythm section (OJ Newcombe and Mark Henman) is
bedrock, keeping the whole band nailed down with finesse and feeling
throughout, while Sol Carrol and Zig Zaggs provide the melody and
flourish. Marcello jumps up for a suitably infectious wail on ‘Do You
Love’, and the overall impression is that this is a band completely
hitting their straps in terms of confidence, knowledge and musicality.
There is a bonus disc available with a pile of dope remixes from the
album. Afro Dizzi Act are an essential part of the musical landscape
up here - this release says they’ll be around for a long time. Scene
