Song(s) of the Day # 2,177 Mogadisco - Dancing Mogadishu (Somalia 1972 - 1991)


Quite funktastic! A wondrous compilation of Mogadishu club sounds from the days when 'both men and women sported huge afros, bell-bottom trousers and platform shoes. James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and The Temptation's funk were the talk of the town.' .


Not every song on here is revelatory but the best of it truly is.  Inevitably conjures thoughts of what the dancefloor scenes must have been like in Mogadishu at the time. As with the Habibi Funk compilation I wrote about on here a couple of weeks ago this is quite essential.
