A rare document of 1970s intercultural Italy arrives here with African rhythms, funk basslines and Afro-Latin percussion collided with Turin's emerging nightclub scene. Recorded in 1975, the ensemble of Congolese, Cameroonian and Beninese musicians channels polyrhythms, call-and-response vocals and light electric guitars into a hybrid sound that is neither strictly Afrobeat nor Western funk but a natural fusion shaped by experience. Tracks like 'Watchiwara' reveal playful reinterpretations of Latin standards through African grooves. Initially overlooked, M'Bamina's African Roll is now considered a classic and a testament to the great value of migration and ensuring musical exchange. Do not sleep on one of European Afro-fusion's hidden gems.
