The Daktaris

About Me

It's true what you heard. The undisputed heavyweight afro-funk album of the decade is coming out of retirement. Soon after its release in the early Desco days, the Daktaris' Soul Explosion became a sought after funk classic and has since become a staple in every serious funk and afro-funk collection. As Peter Franklin of Abidjan Musique says, "The Daktaris is a well-disciplined army of two hundred African Bull Elephants marching relentlessly up your business to the beat from Funky Drummer."
