Tune of the Week: The Daktaris

Daptone Records has been the A1 source of the retro soul movement for decades. Before that was Desco Records. Desco tried to pass off their newly created wares as actual archive recordings newly unearthed. One of the finest records they produced was by the afrobeat loving Daktaris. Featuring future members of Antibalas, the album cover claims that it was “recorded in Nigeria”. However, the scam inherent to this group is simply stated by reading the name of the above tune backwards. Yojne!
