Eboni Band

★★★ Eboni Band WE ARE BUSY BODIES. DL/LP

This marriage of Motown and West Africa is intriguing in its potential but disappointing in reality. Five songs, produced by Art Stewart (Marvin Gaye, Rick James) with US and Ivory Coast musicians, range from generic party-time funk-disco (Sing A Happy Song) to lightly Afro-flavoured groovers.
