Mateo and Matos - Zulu Funk 2 (LAR-081)
The infamous duo is at it again! Zulu Funk 1 was a monster hit
across the globe, so here is the follow up brimming with brand new
Afro-Rican grooves. Return 2 the Motherland is a Fela-inspired
romp complete with a classy flute line. Side B offers up two gritty
rhythmic floor killaz with the standard chunky Mateo and Matos
trademark drums. Get some Zulu in your life!

Hankering for some of those MAW-style Fela Kuti-inspired Afro vibes?
Step this way please. 'Return 2 The Motherland' kicks off proceedings
with standard M&M NY house beats providing the rhythms for a
wave of African-vocal parts, male and female, as well as some funky
horns. 'The Chant' gets a little fussier rhythmically but otherwise
follows a similar formula, while 'Latin Visions' isn't all that
Latin, but does shift into a more Osunlade-influenced style. (3
