Ikebe Shakedown - Ikebe Shakedown [LP]
āRight now in cities across the globe, there are plenty of great Afrobeat revivalist bands aping the sound and groove of Fela Kutiās legendary sound. Yet, surprisingly few of the new groups have strayed from an orthodox interpretation of the genre or done much real innovation. ..Ikebe Shakedown is here to change that. The band takes signature Afrobeat elementsābig unison horns, slinky bass lines, tight little guitar licksāand blends them with tasty grooves culled from '70s-style horn-driven funkā. -Marlon Bishop, WNYC
Ikebe Shakedown, the self-titled album and Ubiquity Records debut from the Brooklyn-based band, plays with elements of Cinematic Soul, Afro-funk, Deep Disco, and Boogaloo in all the right ways. Pushing their globally-informed sound and eclectic approach to tune-writing into new territory, āSelf-titling the album is a way to introduce the audience to the many facets of the band -- to provide a more complete understanding of what we do,ā bassist Vince Chiarito says. āOur sound has grown to incorporate our influences without overtly representing any one in particular. It just sounds like us," he adds.
