Luaka Bop have evidently secured the rights for a vinyl reissue of the compilation, and anyone who indulged in their popular fifth volume focused on William Onyeabor will relish the opportunity to pick this up again. Played by. African musicians discovered Western pop long before most Western pop fans discovered Africa, and this cheerfully varied set explores how they reacted to funk and psychedelia. The former was most important, thanks to James Brown, who was a major influence on Fela Kuti and made a celebrated appearance at Mobutu's Rumble in the Jungle festivities in Zaire in 1974. JB-inspired grunts and howls make a predictable appearance here, courtesy of the Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou and Moussa Doumbia, and there's a hypnotic funk backing mixed in with the political pop balladry of Nigerian Wi.

Still, these '70s-era pop and soul sounds recorded in Mali, Gambia, Benin, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon burn down the house in totally unexpected ways. In tracks that are full of James Brown-like squeals, atmospheric wah-wah guitars and tremendously skittering drums one hears the unmistakable strains of the African diaspora brought back home. Love's a Real Thing is an engrossing collection that sounds wonderfully naive and unmistakably dangerous
