Stream Cerrone’s Afro EP featuring Todd Edwards and Tony Allen

The disco legend has always loved Afrobeat.

So he teamed up with erstwhile Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen and Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango and made a record.

“I was always deeply influenced by Afro-Rock music, Cerrone told Pitchfork. “This is because of the great artistic fingerprint of my first band, Kongas, in which I spent four years before starting my solo career with Love in C Minor.”

Featuring six propulsive tracks in thrall to Afrobeat-style percussion, Afro still maintains Cerrone’s signature disco-funk sensibility and includes remixes from Todd Edwards and Mind Enterprises. There’s also a dance-heavy video for ‘Funk Makossa feat. Manu Dibango’.
