Review: Franck Biyong - Radio Masoda Remixed (Tangential Music) http://www.youandthemusic.com/2024/10/review-franck-biyong-radio-masoda.html

Tangential Music are celebrating Fela Kuti's birthday today with a 4-track EP
from Franck Biyong's album 'Radio Masoda', its like icing on the cake.

As fans of the album 'Radio Masoda' that came out back in May, (see review HERE) is supplemented
with 'Jela Kubwa' remixed by Aint4perfect (getting a bit of a groovy slo-jam vibes), 'Oladipo'
featuring Chief Udoh Essiet and Fela's co-hort at the formation of Afrobeat Tony Allen (RIP)
with a Yann Jankielewicz remix, 'Mbopi Road' (Max Doblhoff Remix) and the 'original' Aint4perfect
/ Franck Biyong track, 'London to Nairobi'.

Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome Kuti was born this day in Abeokuta, Nigeria in 1938 and there's
no better way to celebrate his birthday with remixed tracks of Cameroonian guitarist/singer/
composerBiyong who spent 12 years working with Tony Allen with 'Oladipo' being a tribute track.

Aint4perfect (aka Woni Kimani) has really worked the 'Jela Kubwa' into a Afro-baleriacs funk
that's a really is the groovy baby - a must have in a top quality release.
