Produced and sleeked out at Opal Studios in NYC, back in 1975, Buari’s self-titled LP has been a cornerstone of international highlife music since it was first released. The original is now an arduous item to find at a decent price, so we thanks the Be With label for having repackaged an essential Afro LP that is a must have for anyone into anything outside a constant beat drum. “Karam Bani” opens with a forceful helping of funk, percussive to to the max, and this same hypnotic groove formula is present across the entirety of the A-side, making this a sampler’s dream come true. On the flip, “Iro Le Pa” is the stand-out tune for us, a rhythm that makes Theo Parrish’s Ugly Edits seems kinda tame! Recommended.
