Rise of The Troubadour Warriors - Tropical Grooves & Afrofunk International Vol.3

by Paris DJs Soundsystem

supported by

Coach Miley From first to last this one just grabs you and reels you into a love of rythym and melody. Eartastic! Favorite track: Flaximus (Renegades Of Jazz Bboy Edit).

Michael Van Vleet On an entire album of amazing, energetic tracks, this one stands out for not only its propulsive rhythm, but the fantastic pitch change in the middle as everything stretches like taffy into a dub bliss interlude before swooping back into a staggering finale. Favorite track: Occupy.

Ethan Diamond Every release in this series is an instabuy for me. Djouls/Paris DJs is unstoppable. Favorite track: Flaximus (Renegades Of Jazz Bboy Edit).

about

Paris DJs and Elvis Martinez Smith team up for 'Rise Of The Troubadour Warriors - Tropical Grooves & Afrofunk International Vol.3' - taking up where the second volume left off with another a fully-licensed compilation of Afrofunk, Afrobeat, Latin or Brazilian Funk & Ethio-Jazz from the 21st century.

The music abounds with psychedelic influences and a heavy dose of soul, including a slew of brand new unreleased tracks from Brownout, The Funk Ark (both produced by Adrian Quesada) and Hard Proof from Austin, Texas; Foreign Key and Todd Simon's Ethio-Cali Ensemble from Los Angeles, USA; the Grant Phabao Afrofunk Arkestra or Osemako from Paris and Nîmes, France; Papa Chango from Melbourne, Australia; and the International Ducks from Berlin, Germany!!

The series has already received fantastic critical praise, with The Afrobeat Blog calling Volume 1 “pure unadulterated afrobeat heaven”, WRUV's Music Reviews noticing the "Gorgeous vintage sound on many tracks", and The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on the BBC claiming that “the amount of high-quality Afro, Soul, Ska & Reggae that the Paris DJs are throwing out just now is breathtaking. 'Dis Is Good For You', their actual compilation, it's good for ya!".

All of the tracks were re-mastered by Grant Phabao at Paris DJs studios, giving the music on 'Rise Of The Troubadour Warriors' a sound quality sometimes previously unavailable. Quite simply, the music has never sounded this good. With an intemporal Ben Hito artwork as a source of inspiration to submit tracks, this is truly epic music and is perhaps even more relevant to the funkier influences within the contemporary Afro musical spectrum.
