The Budos Band - The Budos Band (LP) ableton Silent Servant based in LosThe debut album from this Staten Island soul group. The Budos Band sound is definitely leaning towards West African funk, but they do it with an emphasis on the funk more than the African. So there's no overt Fela tributes here or watered down aping of "that sound," just tight instrumentals splashed with those synchronized low tone horn blasts, clear rhythm guitar, and organ drones of death. Tracks range from the super mellow stuff like "Ghost Walk"
