Miko / Worlds Of Love (1989); Das Album wurde 1989 von der deutschen Sängerin Miko in Zusammenarbeit mit Niko Lido und Stephen Keusch veröffentlicht. Zuvor war Miko als Mitglied der Band Neonbabies aktiv, bevor sie mit diesem Werk den Schritt in ihre Solokarriere wagte. Besonders die B-Seite mit dem über 21 Minuten langen "Track What Is Love? Love Is The Power Of Heaven" hat die Zeit bemerkenswert gut überdauert. #Miko #PetraMikolajczak #MicoLayczak #RnB #R&B #Afrobeat #Funk #Soul #Pop

#Timbaland dropped a collection of afrobeat-inspired cuts: "Timbo, progression"

Can't find much info about it, it's actually pretty chill. Some singing but not credited --- wondering who is on this. Effectively instrumentals.

Most of these i would not have ID'd as Timbo tracks without a clue, but a few have a clear Timbaland vibe, such as this one:

LIJADU SISTERS
Double Trouble
1984 U.S. & Canada pressing

Where to begin with THIS wonderful record…

Kehinde + Taiwo Lijadu were identical twins. They made 5 awesome records; ALL mixed #funk #soul #afrobeat #reggae … a rad melting pot of amazing music.

This first came out in ‘79 (under the name Horizon Unlimited), in Algeria only.
It was then reissued in ‘84 in North America (this) & again in 2012 & 2024.

The bass &percussion on this is amazing.

“Performing his self-described ‘Afro-Roots’ sound, a fusion of reggae and Afrobeat groove, few artists have a more positive vibe than Rocky. His show is an incandescent Afro-Roots dance party.”
