Description
The Budos Band’s self-titled debut album was a fusion of Afrobeat, soul, and funk, creating a unique sound that was both original and infectious. Their third album, appropriately titled "The Budos Band III," is the perfect evolution of their sound.
Released in 2010, "The Budos Band III" features the band’s signature mix of horns, percussion, and guitar riffs. "The Budos Band III" opens with the upbeat track "Rite of the Ancients," which sets the tone for the rest of "The Budos Band III". The songs on this album are all instrumental, but the music speaks for itself. The brass and percussion sections take turns in the spotlight, while the guitar and bass provide a solid backbone. The arrangements are complex, but not so much that they overwhelm the listener.
The band has cited influences such as Fela Kuti and James Brown, and you can hear those influences on this album. The horns provide a classic soul sound, while the percussion has an Afrobeat feel. The guitar riffs and bass lines keep the songs grounded in a more traditional funk sound.
One of the standout tracks on "The Budos Band III" is "Unbroken, Unshaven," which has a driving rhythm and a hypnotic melody. It’s a track that stays with you long after it’s finished. "Nature’s Wrath" is another memorable song, with its ominous introduction and steady drum beat that leads to a satisfying climax.
"The Budos Band III" was released on vinyl in 2010, and the 2020 reissue is a must-have for any fan of the band. The vinyl pressing brings out the warmth and richness of the sound, making it an ideal format for this type of music. The artwork is also noteworthy, with a striking image of a snake on the cover.
