Truth To Power
(Wah Wah 45s)
We continue the flurry of really good muisic you simply must own with this infectious slice of goodness from the mighty Eparapo on Wah Wah Records. It's been two years since they've gifted us with anything but fear not, this crew have not been resting on their laurels but have been working their fingers to the bare bone crafting gems like this . To say we're so glad to announce the glorious return of this super crew is an understatement. This project features Fela Kuti disciple and the UK’s “ Afrobeat Ambassador”, Dele Sosimi, and percussionist, vocalist and one half of label mates Raz & Afla, Afla Sackey. They bring a strong message interweaved in the music that bassist Suman Joshi talks about:
“As disinformation, fake news & “alternative facts” continue to dominate political discourse, those who seek power at any cost are happily reaping the rewards of the resulting chaos. With social media platforms cashing in on extreme views and angry exchanges we’re losing our grip on reality. Social cohesion is crumbling as mob mentality, whipped up by unscrupulous politicians, takes hold. If we’re to turn the tide against the poisonous rhetoric being employed by those who would happily see the world burn to further their own nefarious ambitions, then we need a powerful new narrative - one based on unity, compassion, integrity and truth.”
'Truth To Power' and 'Coca-Colonization' are available on this glorious forty-five available from Wah Wah Records on the crew's Bandcamp page. Our advice is to buy on sight or risk being at the mercy of the 'cogs greedy guts. Go!
