AFRODIZZ debut album KIF KIF

"Just when you thought they didn't make Afrobeat like that anymore....a real treat for all discerning music lovers" Straight No Chaser, UK

"Authentic sounding Afrobeat...these knuckleheads have got it goin' on." Now, Toronto

"Montreal's own answer to the growing prevalence of real funk bands who go that extra mile to get it right has to be Afrodizz." Montreal Mirror

Afrodizz brings the genuine Afro Funk ruckus. This Montreal-based powerhouse has quickly become one of Canada's premiere Afrobeat outfits. Drawing inspiration from the work of the legendary Fela Kuti, these eight stellar musicians use their jazz experience to expand on the foundation sound with a modern urban touch. Afrodizz's debut full-length Kif Kif will be released on June 29 across Canada.

Kc lovin' the afrobeat!! I'm stoked for this one, really dug the tunes on their site. In addition, I'll probably make it out to Kokolo for a bit atleast hopefully. I'll be in Toronto that day but these guys are too good to miss.
