We kick things off this week with a track from a record I've got on repeat these days, Bulletproof from The Liberators self-titled debut LP. As I recently wrote in my review for The Afrobeat Blog, this record is about good as any afrobeat record I've heard in a while. The Liberators hail from Sydney, Australia, but they've got a sound that resembles that which comes from Daptone Studios in Brooklyn. We also feature some Ikebe Shakedown, Jorge Ben, and close things out with some Sly (Brought to you by The Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions).
