Biton – BIT 2122
Germany
1981
IKWEZI was founded by former MOMBASA 2 bassist Donald „DON“ Ridgeway. There is only this awesome IKWEZI album, recorded at Biton Studio Frankfurt, Germany. Finest Afrobeat, Funk & Soul and it’s also slightly Disco influenced. Please check out the far-out 110 BPM Afro-Disco-Funk pleasure ALL THAT DESIRE!
On the back side of the cover are some liner notes, written by Lou Blackburn (MOMBASA), which describes the great IKWEZI sound very well:
Here’s whats happening in 1982. There forces to be have very mystical powers to the of inspiring the very talented young bassist Don Ridgeway, former solo bassist with the African jazz group MOMBASA. The first recordings from the group IKWEZI, led by Don Ridgeway is a mixture off all there is since the rock, punk, disco and new wave scene. Tasteful compositions from Ridgeway with good structure based on the polytonal and obstinate bass lines, puts motion in the body (get down and do it right). This group should be heard, and by the turn of the 1982 season it will be heard. A self style, clean with confidence and conviction.
Lou Blackburn, MOMBASA „81“
