专辑简介

" Think of all the things you may have liked about modern African music over the last thirty years, combine that with some of your favorite American r&b concerts over the last forty years, and you start to get a picture of the music of Francis Mbappe."

"Peace is Freedom" is the latest in a succession of live recordings by Francis Mbappe's band "FM Tribe." This recording takes on a new level of sophistication, with its danceable beats, complex harmonies and Afrobeat horn section. The blues surface, along with hints of Fela Kuti, and James Brown, and yet Mbappe always maintains his authenticity. This music is an irresistable blend of American, African, jazz and pop.
