NO FOOD WITHOUT TASTE IF BY HUNGER

TRACKLIST Onughara Ughamwen-Rhienenemwen Ekhueghamunu Gaskya-Kace Bi Enu Ba Sahun Aikemienaru-Nanorunomwan INFO Limited Edition LP with a Silk-Screen printed cover and an orange Yellow colored vinyl pressed on 180g high quality vinyl Put your dancing shoes and be ready to kill the dancefloor, the intoxicating highlife music known as Edo Funk from Benin City, Nigeria is back. Following the planetary success of the ‚Edo Funk Explosion Vol.1š project AA has now unearthed ‚No Food Without Taste If By Hungerš by ‚The Good Samaritansš, one of the most obscure Nigerian album ever recorded. Originally released in 1982, the bands first album is full of bouncy basslines, raw trance-like grooves and tripped-out psychedelic guitars, a funk experience unlike any other. ‚The Good Samaritansš is Philosopher Okundaye™s own Edo-Funk project, under which name he produced four albums, all recorded at Phonodisk Studio in Ijebu-Igbo east of Lagos with a 24 track. Okundaye who played many instruments, engaged the right musicians for each project and mixed the whole thing himself, is known as the composer of a large part of Benin City™s celebrated hits in the 80s. His name keeps popping up but somehow his role in the scene remains a bit hazy, giving the character an image of something like the gray eminence of Edo funk.
