Studio album by Afro-funk, jit and urban grooves band Mokoomba from Zimbabwe. This is truly music with many sources. You can spot African traditional folk, reggae, funk and a mix of r&b with hip hop and parts of jazz making it sheer fusion music, but the term fusion often refers to popular music in a Western tradition - this is really not, although, the term would be suited here if not it was so undefinable, like an umbrella term used when you can't really tell exactly what it is. Afro-funk seems more precise, and from my perspective, this is better than traditional funk, which is a genre I have never liked much.
