The Celebrant - The Celebrant (1978) Hi-Res

Psych afro funk of the highest order. Opolopo get into the afro groove - reworking Nigerian Band The Celebrant with their cosmic/outer space afro funk and classy afro-disco sound- shuffling house beats and funky synth work compliments the original sounds. Aroop Roy adds a smooth touch to "Funky Music" infectious afro dancerloor business. Stylistically the vibe sits between searing outer space afro funk and classy afro-disco.

Off Beats. OPOLOPO dons his astronaut suit for his first outing on Canopy, propelling Off Beats into the off-world stratosphere in a remake that never rests in its irresistible groove. Weighting down the beat with shuffling house beats while his signature funky synth work augments the synth solos of The Celebrant. Together they ignite the rockets to raise this track into another dimension.

Funky Music. Aroop Roy blesses Canopy for the first time with this remix of Funky Music, adding his infamously smooth and funky touch. The maestro is well renowned for his skill at flipping already killer material into highly addictive dancefloor bombs. Here he adds an undeniably groovy bassline to back the afro horn arrangements and interstellar synth solos. Setting it all ablaze he transforms these afro chops into a proper late night disco affair. When the Balearic pads ascend, the vibe simply levitates! Wide eyed and euphoric, this joint will sooth even the most savage of souls as they start to elevate into the aether.
