{"product_id":"buari","title":"Buari","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2023 repress. Be With Records present the first ever officially licensed vinyl reissue of Buari's self-titled album, originally released on RCA in 1975. A surefire Afro-funk classic, long treasured by collectors across the globe, the fantastic self-titled LP from Ghanaian singing\/percussion sensation \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSidiku Buari\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e nevertheless remains a criminally hard-to find gem. This super-rare album boasts an all-star cast of top funk instrumentalists playing alongside Buari as he blends heavy African rhythms with American soul-funk grooves. The arrangements and the playing are incredibly tight and the album is stacked with killer tracks including \"Advice From Father\" (sampled brilliantly by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenny Dope\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and \"Ku Ka Maria\", with its intense, neck-snapping breaks and funky drumming from legend \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernard \"Pretty\" Purdie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Purdie is in the pocket for the entirety of this stunning LP -- the drumming is just straight out of hand; so varied yet so precise. It's not hard to fathom why these tracks have always been huge on the b-boy\/breaking scene. Other standouts include the wonderful disco-tinged Afro monsters \"Karam Bani\" and \"Iro Le Pa\" plus the cool laidback groove of \"Them Yebtheyet\". With access to the original analog tape transfers, the stellar mastering by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Francis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e elevates the sound throughout and. 180 gram vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67915382128919,"sku":"BEWITH037LP","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/BEWITH037LP_CU.jpg?v=1792715881","url":"https:\/\/sisyphusrecordworks.com\/products\/buari","provider":"Sisyphus Record Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
