Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is another one of those indispensable compilations where you can only marvel at the heroic dedication of the man who put it together.
Samy Ben Redjeb collected literally thousands of tracks, mainly from the 1970s, from which these 32 funky nuggets were plucked. Afrobeat, psychedelia, American funk, rock'*'roll – as well as the core rhythms of Nigeria, the Congo and Cuba – are all stirred into the spicy pot. Retro collection of the year.
