What a fantastic film, the moment playing El Rego's track back to him got me choked, he looked so happy and grateful. The re-release on Daptone is a must.
What a fun and brilliant doco, love that Frank is trying to keep these gems alive, the reaction of the older musicians listening to their music says it all👌🎼
This movie is a absolute Gem. I cannot believe that I found such a great Video on the Music that moves me to life. Moves me to Live again. Thank you so much Afra Andrea Ladish. You make my heart sing and my soul fly.
Thanks Frank, for all those mixes you put out on your blog at that time- I DJ vinyl and play a lot of the represses of the songs you found. You did wonderful work for the world.
Raw passion in the recordings and the collector. Thankful for the people who recognized the cultural importance, like saving a rare bird from extinction.
This dude in the vid Frank used to have a Blogspot called Voodoo Funk where he would post free mp3s and long mixes. SO GOOD! There were pictures of him in bombed out old buildings with an avalanche of records he was sifting through. Looked it up the other day after getting into a convo about African music with a rockabilly dude, found the website, and within a couple days it disappeared. Hope he gets it going again. Until then, thank you Frank for all the music you unearthed! I loved those mixes.... Before my hard drive died... Damn.
+AudiophileLaws getmziki (dot com) you can find all the new stuff here, mostly east coast, but styles from all over are starting to turn up! Unless you want just older stuff, but Getmiziki has a lot of great stuff!
Such a wonderful video - i especially love the part at about 29.30 where he is speaking with Danialou Sagabhan - it is a very emotional reminiscence and his explanation of music these days as compared with rhythms of the village and music of another time is so real - you can feel it in through your bones.
What a lovely film! The vinyl makes me salivate and the music is fantastic, but the interactions and the vibe is my favorite thing about it. Great, great job. Thank you for sharing it!!
African funk is awesome. I only know about manu dibango and poeple like that but I know there are loads of artists only really known in Africa and now forgotten. I'd love to find some of this old stuff.
I see a high interest of young hipsters in America playing obscure 60s-80s soul and funk all over the country...even on RUclips. I wish them well on their crate digging journeys. Growing up in the 90s, no one was doing that, I played all mine alone in the house. Maybe music got so bad that even Gen Z are recognizing it
I've been aware of discogs since before the shooting of this documentary in 2008. Back then the database was too small to be relevant and even later the platform never turned anything upside down for me. Aside from my stomach maybe, looking at the mostly common, beat up, over graded, African records being sold/offered on there today.

The color and design of these album covers is amazing. Pure art.

+Vinyl Therapy & Audio I agree! thumbs ups for sure!
ruclips.net/video/5_6J0LlsV6g/видео.html when the music dropped, i almost lost it. such beauty.
moves me to life. so true.
Thanks Frank, for all those mixes you put out on your blog at that time- I DJ vinyl and play a lot of the represses of the songs you found. You did wonderful work for the world.
A french speaking german who flew from the US to crate dig in West Africa… this man is a gem

We Salute you Sir,
The world is a better place with you and this music alive in it.
Much love

@@MrSundex02 Copyright strikes.
@@VoodooFunkNYC Dude were are the 24 hour mixes!
Proper record collecting, complete with a voudou ceremony! Brilliant.

Asi Me gusta a mi, ça le fait merci !
Such a cool documentary! It really makes me want to discover this kind of african music! He is living the dream....

Why is it mostly east coast? I moved to Seattle and frequent Portland and San Diego and have found way less than I did in West Virginia even....
I assume I was referring to the African Westcoats. I might be wrong..
This doc is superb! Love seeing the reactions of the original artists when they hear their records again.

Have you watched the video? Mostly in Benin, there are almost no records shops, most records were bought from peers.
I’m sure if those records got a good cleaning it would make a huge difference.

Hello! Where can I buy records in Ouagadougou?

Any possibility for tracklists ???
This guys world will be flipped upside down when he discovers Discogs

With only French and English you can communicate with the almost entire west Africa that's cool.
