‘Body Music’, Afro Funk’s 1975 LP, was recorded and released in London by a band comprised mostly of West African expatriates. At the time the city was host to a vibrant African music scene; the massive success of Osibisa created a swarm of young bands trying to use London as a launch pad for international stardom. Unfortunately Afro Funk did not find the success they were looking for and ‘Body Music’ became their only album, but the deep funk grooves and driving afrobeat rhythms featured on this rare LP have made it a desired addition to record collections around the world. After its small scale release in London on Kabana Records, ‘Body Music’ was also released in extremely limited quantities by Kojo Asare’s Chairman Records in Ghana. Despite the well crafted mix of various West African styles and American funk, without the support of a label promotion department and no major touring by the band, both they and their record quickly faded into obscurity. Today copies rarely surface, so Secret Stash now presents the first ever reissue of this highly collectable piece of modern African music history. As always, this vinyl only release includes a digital download card giving the user high quality MP3s of the entire album.
