Umberto Echo - The Afrodub Experience - CD DIGISLEEVE

On his new album “The Afrodub Experience,” multi-instrumentalist and producer Umberto Echo takes us on a journey through time and space across four continents. Together with numerous collaborators, he explores 50 years of Afro-Caribbean music history.

The starting point is the Afrobeat of the 1970s. In the Berlin project “Afrobeat Academy” of the late 2000s, Umberto finds inspiration through his collaboration with original musicians from Fela Kuti's band “Africa 70.” He begins to fuse their music with dub and reggae. Originally planned as Umberto's second album, the project takes new turns and becomes a journey that you might not want to end. Eighteen years later, “The Afrobeat Experience” is now released as Umberto Echo's twelfth studio album on GLM Global Music and Oneness Records.
