Montreal Mirror, CD Review >>
By Erin MacLeod
With all the chatter about Vampire Weekend’s Yankee Afro-pop with no claim to authenticity, it’s interesting to turn to Aphrodesia, another American group who make it known that they don’t just own Afro-beat records, but they’ve been there and done that—there’s even a photo in the liner notes that shows them backstage before opening for Femi Kuti in Nigeria. Aphrodesia should take a hint from the Vampire boys and let the music speak for itself because, whether it’s authentic or not, it’s actually quite good. Tracks like “Ochun Mi,” “Agayu” and the short but sweet “Holy Ghost Invasion” would be surefire ways to fill a dancefloor. 8/10 02/20/08 >> go there
