> Notes:

Hungarian Afrobeat musical coalition, The Mabon Dawud Republic

rekindled its Fela Kuti tribute band beginnings when it paired up

with Egypt 80 alumni, Dele Sosimi for a track on their self-titled

album. A year later, the politically charged and rousing "Na Lie"

is back on center stage as an agile canvas for four unique dance

remixes by Tribute Records mogul Zepherin Saint along with three

MoBlack Records mainstays, including MoBlack himself. Intact at

the heart and marrow of MBR445 are the ensemble's deep roots in

West-African traditions and the Afrobeat virtuoso's buoyant vocals

and topical lyrics, breathing all four tracks to life, as they did

the 2020 original. First of four is a soulful take on Sosimi and

the Republic's plea for truth. Percussive and plush, M. Caporale's

rendition is brightened by supple melodic pinches, letting the

track tread elegantly from start to finish. Keeping the verve and

'Na Lie's' timbre aloft, Armonica lends their signature touch,

rendering a nocturnal Afro-electro version rife with cosmic

groove, oscillating bass lines and moist undulations. Carrying on

with vim, Zepherin Saint's reinterpretation is a glorious

symphonic experience. Escorted by robust beats, Saint's remix

unfurls a graciously sewn mosaic of instrumentals, fusing a

melange of colors, semblances and deep-rooted tribal nuances.

Capping off the quartet, MoBlack taps into unmapped waters,

pushing new frontiers of sound and owning it in this lasting

finale. Melding and bending genres, the label mastermind churns

organic elements and electronic maneuvers into new ways of hearing

and feeling music, nimbly emitting industrial grit, sonorous

reverie and driving rhythms.
