The distinct sounds of Afro beat is continuing to make waves mainstream. Eveyone should be familiar with Jay Cole's track 'Can't get enough' ft Trey Songz. If you don't where have you beeeen?
Instantly I was drawn to to the sample that can be heard so strong under Cole and Trey's lyrics. It had to be African. Thanks to Google and Youtube, it didn't take me long to find out where it came from. Drum role please...
The sample is a song called 'Paulette' by Guinean band 'Balla et ses Balladins, who were active through the 60s to the 80s. I LOVE IT... It's Nando's music... Haaaaaa!
Enjoyoohhh
Whether you like it or not Afro beat is continuing to influence mainstream music and it is here to stay.
