This episode needs no further introduction. From Nigeria to Ghana, Somalia to Sudan, we've picked our favourite examples of funk music from across the African continent and compiled them into an hour mix for your ears!

Some of these vinyl are available on the site. If the record you want is out of stock, please email us as we may be getting more soon. The rest are 2nd hand originals which we've imported from Nigeria ourselves! These will be on our Discogs page, but be quick because once they're gone, they're gone. Click each track below for the vinyl link, or hit us up by email and tell us what you want for 10% off the Discogs price (this applies to any 2nd hand stuff on our Discogs page).

As usual, we've got the full video and many more on our YouTube channel, so please support us and subscribe if you're feeling it!
