Geraldo Pino lived and played in his area, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria and created some of the hottest funky sounds with sophisticated sound gear, outstanding clothing and songs that made your blood boil.
His first album GERALDO PINO & THE HEARTBEATS hit the scene in 1972. "Afro soco soul live" is as the title suggests an album that has been recorded at a concert and Geraldo Pino often communicates with the utterly enthusiastic audience, gives longer announcements between the songs or introduces his lead guitarist before he starts a simmering solo.
The basic style is funk with soulful vocals which gets mixed up with traditional African percussion grooves.
This album swallows you with its mesmerizing rhythms. It's afro funk at best with a frantic atmosphere whirling up from the ever flashing percussive arrangements.
The funky Hammond B - 3 organ is omnipresent on all the tracks and duels with the wild and completely unleashed lead guitar from time to time.
Due to the crisp and clear sound this record gives you the feeling of being right at the scene, everything sounds and feels so vivid, even after more than four decades.
So it is no wonder that this record is a popular gem in Western Africa and treasured item in Europe and America.
Original copies of this album go for several hundred USD if they ever turn up. So a reissue of this sacred gem of African funk music from the early 70s has been long overdue.
A record that is made to let dancefloors smoke and tremble and the musicianship is sheer amazing!
