I am ashamed I haven't posted any Afrobeat yet. Shame over. This is off of the African Scream Contest album. The whole thing is absolute FIRE and you can find a full review of it here. This track in particular may confuse you as to where in the world this music was made if you didn't know it was "afrobeat". There are elements of Africa, Europe, South and Central America in the mix (you could throw North America in there too as many of the musicians on this album were influenced by James Brown records which were trickling into Africa at the time, hence African SCREAM contest).
