THE BUDOS BAND, the Staten Island instrumental afro-soul act with influences as the CAIRO JAZZ BAND, J.C. Davis, Mulatu Astatke and BLACK SABBATH coming together to form a mind-bending combination of rhythm and melody, record junkies like me nodding their heads to the soul-infused melodies; metal heads thrashing to the dark and ominous guitar and bass riffs.
THE BUDOS BAND is an instrumental band recording on the Daptone Records label. The band has nine members (with occasional guests) who on their first studio albums, played instrumental music that was self-described as "Afro-Soul", baritone saxophone player Jared Tankel elucidated as being drawn from Ethiopian music the band had been listening to that had a soul undercurrent to it, which the band then "sprinkled a little bit of sweet 60's stuff on top" of. Since this time, the band has moved toward playing what they refer to as "70's Psychedelic Instrumental Music."
On the electric guitar is Thomas Brenneck, congas, drums is handled by John Carbonella Jr., organ - Mike Deller, bass guitar - Daniel Fode, trumpet, Andrew Greene, bongos, congas – Rob Lombardo, drums – Brian Profilio and percussion – Dame Rodriguez,
Jazz, deep funk, Afro-beat, soul and heavy-metal influences can be heard in the Budos Band recordings, all of which were released on Daptone Records and recorded at the label's own studio, Daptone's House of Soul, in Brooklyn, New York. Though they reside in Brooklyn THE BUDOS BAND have toured most of North America, Several countries in Europe and parts of Australia.
That this is very cool music to play on high volume on a Friday evening, but beware, it's easy to get the "Budos Fever"
