Afro Rock Vol. 1 is considered to be one of the most important compilations of heavy original ‘70s Afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. Originally surfacing on Duncan Brooker’s indie Kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk, and soul fans to rediscover lost music from Africa made during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Out of print since 2002, the album is being reissued on Strut in its original form with an extra bonus track, a unreleased psychedelic cut by Kenya’s Ishmael Jingo.
Here’s the title track, “I Learned The Hard Way,” from the upcoming Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings album, I Learned The Hard Way, due out 4/6 via Daptone.
