Okay, so: this isn't really a soul album, and as far as we can tell, few if any of the artists involved are from Africa, either! It's still well worth checking, though, as what you get instead are 13 tracks of contemporary funk, jazz-funk and, yes, some soul from artists such as DJ Moy, The Broker, Phil Disco and LTG Long Travel Groove, all of which have purportedly been inspired by African music. Said influences are obvious on, say, DJ Moy's self-explanatory 'Afrojazz' or kiddy chant-laden 'L'Afrikano', less so on tracks like The Broker's 'Tutto In' - a jazz-funk/soul number that could have come from anywhere, at any point in the past 45 years or so - but it all adds up to a rather pleasing neo-funk package anyway.
