{"product_id":"wganda-kenya-africa-5000","title":"Wganda Kenya - Africa 5000","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Wganda Kenya was ahead of it's time, anticipating current contemporary Afro-Latin-funk trends in a prescient way that has inspired a legion of fans across the globe. As part of that legacy, Africa 5000 (1975) has a legendary reputation as one of Discos Fuentes' best hard-to-find Afro Caribbean funk records and is a highly prized collector's piece. This LP features several classic dance floor gems as well as some lesser-known nuggets and a non-album bonus cut, plus informative notes. The epic 'La torta' ('The Cake') kicks things off with a lively Colombian interpretation of Haitian compas. The tune is still remembered as a big picó (amplified sound system) hit at the verbenas (outdoor dance parties). 'Fiebre de lepra' ('Leprosy Fever') was also released as a 45 single and is certainly one of Wganda Kenya's wilder tracks. Funky wah-wah guitar, makossa style bass, manic organ, and feverishly insane vocals (from Wilson \"Saoko\" Manyoma and Joe Arroyo) indicate that Fruko and his pals were having a ball goofing around in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45296604807473,"sku":"8435008864248","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/4131922-2877692.jpg?v=1684199129","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/wganda-kenya-africa-5000","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
