Afefe Iku – Bodydrummin is one the many EPs from Osunlade protégé from Afefe Iku of Manda Island, Kenya. He worked closely with Osunlade at his I'lle studio during the recording of the Bodydrummin EP back in 2012. The entire EP uses an African drums and percussion selection along with African rhythms.
Bodydrummin uses an African drums and percussion selection to follow the rhythm. Bodydrummin uses the sounds of tribal house. The stab kicks in after the bells with the repetitive lyrics saying, "the body, the body..." . The synth lead fades out during that time. Beats are broken down. Bodydrummin uses a tempo of 120 BPM.
Columbus Beach uses a new jazz sound over African drums and percussion. A jazzy saxophone follows the melody and rhythm. Notice how none of the beats are broken down but instead follow the rhythm. Columbus Beach is the song which calms the mood down for this EP as a tempo of 94 BPM is used instead the typical 120 BPM or 125 BPM.
I rate this EP 5/5*****!!
