https://open.spotify.com/album/2fu49p5ALLoanYgbJhvWXG Assagai was an Afro-rock band from South Africa, active in the early 1970s in London. It consisted of five members: Louis Moholo, Mongezi Feza, Bizo Muggikana, Fred Coker, and Dudu Pukwana. They recorded for the British label Vertigo Records. Assagai's self-titled debut album was released in 1971. It was reissued on CD by Repertoire Records in 1994. Their second and final album, Zimbabwe, was released later in 1971. The album was re-released as LP by Music for Pleasure label, but under a different title, AfroRock. Both their albums featured songs written by members of Jade Warrior and also included guest appearances from them as well. In the 1960s, Pukwana, Feza and Moholo were also members of the jazz band The Blue Notes....~ Assagai was an Afro-Beat group consisting of South Africans and Nigerians that recorded in England. What I like best about their sound is that they had concise, well structured songs unlike some Afro-Beat groups that composed epic tracks that devolved into extended jam sessions. Telephone Girl makes an excellent beginning with two full measures of open drums before short horn stabs come in on the one. Eventually the vocals and the rest of the band join in. That’s followed by a nice instrumental entitled Akasa that also features an Afro-Beat drum break. The equally funky Cocoa follows. The rest of the album is more Afro-Beat oriented with the laid back Irin Ajolawa and Ayieo comparing well with the more upbeat Beka. ...! Assagai was an Afro-rock band, active in the early 1970s in London, whose relatively short career produced two albums recorded in 1971. It has been described as "the second best-known African group of the late 60s/early 70s in Britain" after Osibisa. History The original band consisted of five members, three from South Africa and two from Nigeria: drummer Louis Moholo, trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza, alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana, and guitarist/bassist Fred Coker — the latter, according to Rob Fitzpatrick in The Guardian, "helped guide Assagai into position as the only real West African competition to the super-star firepower of Ghana's Osibisa" before Coker left Assagai to replace Spartacus R in Osibisa. Keyboardist Alan Gowen and percussionist Jamie Muir were also briefly members (1971-72). The band recorded for the British label Vertigo Records, and are thought to be "the only African or 'Black' band ever signed" by the label. Assagai's self-titled debut album was released in 1971; among the African musicians who played with the group on the recording was Terri Quaye. Assagai was reissued on CD by Repertoire Records in 1994. The band's second and final album, Zimbabwe (with cover artwork by Roger Dean), was released later in 1971. It was re-released as LP by Music for Pleasure label, but under a different title, AfroRock. Both Assagai albums featured songs written by members of the British group Jade Warrior and included guest appearances from them as well In the 1960s, Pukwana, Feza and Moholo were also members of the jazz band The Blue Notes alongside Chris McGregor....~ Assagai were one of the few (if any other) black bands signed to the Vertigo label. The band's sound was a mixture of psychedelic rock, Nigerian afro beat, and funk. Their self-titled debut is most widely known for the track "Telephone Girl" which is an infectious uptempo dance floor funk cut. The beginning beat also served as an inspiration to hip hop producers like DJ Premiere. Other tracks like the afro burners "Cocoa" and "Irin Ajolania" show they are no one trick pony, either. .....~ This Afro-funk band from Southern Rhodesia (nowadays Zimbabwe) was based in London in the very early '70s. 'Zimbabwe', originally issued in 1972, was the group's second album. Apparently members of UK prog band Jade Warrior helped out with the recordings. The LP, here reissued on 180-gram vinyl, is essential for fans of a.o. Cymande and Demon Fuzz.....~
