DO YOU FEEL THE BUDOS BEAT?

Ahh, the Budos Band. Try as I might to refrain from posting the same band over and over, I was just chomping at the bit, looking for an excuse to throw some more Budos up here. (It came in the form of a Daytrotter session.) There are a number of reasons why I dig them, not the least of which is that they're playing something few people are; timeless stuff, hypnotic grooves, with an abundance of percussion, keyboards and horns. It's hard to pin down, this sound of theirs, though their seems to be a little Mulatu Astatke influence. Regardless, it's probably better not to dissect their music too much, and just go with it. Which brings me to the video below.

This guy is my hero. Dancing is something I'm not particularly adept at, and a big reason is that it's hard to lose my inhibitions. This dude has no problem, despite the onlookers chuckling at him. He has the Budos beat. I'll admit, it looks rather comical in broad daylight, but you can bet this guy has the gals gaping in the dark environs of his local night spots. Like I said, hero all the way. You go beanpole hipster!
