Review:
A killer blend of African roots and American rhythms and a set that definitely lives up to the disco promised in the title! Buari's working here with a host of New York musicians jazzy players who include Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis on trumpet, Barry Rogers on trombone, and Michael Brecker on tenor -- all blowing tightly over the album's quick rhythms and well-crafted string arrangements! The sound is hardly familiar disco and the music is much more in the styles of the underground at the time almost equivalent to P&P Records productions in the way that Buari works some clever magic with the grooves. The whole thing's got a lot more edge than his better-known set on RCA and titles include "Koko Si", "I'm Ready", "Feed My Body", "Hard Times", "Adesa A", "Minyo", "Born With Music", and "African Hustle".
