about

Always on the hunt for unreleased tracks from our favorite Afro players around the world, Paris DJs had the chance to have access to some exclusive new music Hard Proof, the Austin-based 9-piece Afrobeat/Afrorock/Ethio-Jazz which rocks the crowds like none other (well, excepted, maybe, The Budos Band…). With musicians from Black Joe Lewis And The Honeybears, The Echocentrics and Ocote Soul Sounds, Hard Proof is a kind of high-energy supergroup, and 'Trickle Down' featured in this selection sounds like an Hendrixian take on the Afrobeat genre. A vibrant & punchy way to close the curtain on this 3rd compilation, and a first glimpse to what's coming next for this 'Afrofunk International' series…


About Hard Proof :
Locally produced and internationally-inspired, Hard Proof is an Austin-based collective that brings intense Afrobeats to the state of Texas. Hard Proof tightly fuses sounds from sub-Saharan Africa with adventurous jazz and deep funk to stimulate your brain and move your feet. Members of Hard Proof also perform with bands such as Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Ocote Soul Sounds, Echocentrics, The Calm Blue Sea and Cougar.

Latest Releases :
