about

Following their first 7” in 2018 Budabeats Records is proud the release the debut LP of pioneering Hungarian afrobeat supergroup, the Mabon Dawud Republic. The band started out as the Fela Kuti tribute band for the very first Felabration event in Budapest. In the past two years they created an impressive repertoire of own tunes, the rawness you can hear on their early recordings transformed into a more mature and sophisticated sound, still deeply rooted in the traditions of West-African music. They even toured in Ghana where they had the chance to record with highlife legend Pat Thomas, as you can hear on ‘Gyae Abrabo’. On ‘Na Lie’ they are joined by Fela’s original Egypt 80 band member, keyboard player and singer Dele Sosimi. Other guest performances include Ghanaian vocalist and kologo player Stevo Atambire (on ‘Mawadidoh’ and ‘Talk to Me’) and vocalist Abate Berihun (on ‘Nanu Nanu Neye’).

"SUPERB" (Laurent Garnier)

"This is very good!" (Toshio Matsuura, UFO)

"...a Mabon Dawud Republic nemcsak a leckét tanulta meg jól, amit jeleznek a vendégzenészek is (köztük Pat Thomas a leglegendásabb), hanem saját hangot alakított ki az afrobeat határain belül. Úgy kifinomult, hogy az nem megy a lüktetés rovására; enyhén elemelt-pszichedelikus, olykor jazzes, néha elektronikus beütésű (leginkább a Talk To Me). A záró, hipnotikus Nanu Nanu Neyéről meg simán elhinném, hogy autentikusan afrikai." (Recorder)
