This is unfortunately the one and only album The Daktaris ever put out. Like the album cover suggests it is funky, soulful, afrobeat. Coming out in 1998 The Daktaris were both ahead and behind in the curve. Fela Kuti, the pioneer of afrobeat, passed away in 1997 leaving a gaping unfillable void in the afrobeat community. It is only now seeming to make a true revival (although many stalwarts would say it never left) through Fela’s children and other modern outfits such as Antibalas (who contain people from The Daktaris). Compared to Fela, The Daktaris take a slower funky trip on the afrobeat train. Hope on, and enjoy the ride.
