About Sila Mutungi
Hailed as “Africa’s James Brown,” Sila has made an immediate and lasting impact on the music world. As a 2010 NAACP Award winner for his last record, Sila has delved deep into his soul, taking cues from his musical idols Fela and James Brown to create a fiery record that resounds with inspiration and positivity while speaking to issues of adversity and struggle. SuperAfrican boasts rhythms and a groove that is so uniquely Sila that it will no doubt have you dancing through each and every listen.
The Kenyan-born artist, who has lived in San Francisco for the last decade, harked back to his childhood in a rural village near Nairobi for inspiration while making the album. The result is a twelve-track offering that shimmers, pulses and throbs with earnest and heartfelt expressions of American pop, R&B, soul, and funk, filtered through an Afrofunk prism. SuperAfrican features all live instrumentation and showcases the contributions of world-class Bay Area musicians, including members of Santana, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Sting, and Jazz Mafia, among others.
With SuperAfrican, Sila has made an album suitable for making love, wrestling lions, or enjoying a night out. It’s the latest step in a journey that has taken him from Africa to the United States to Europe, and back again while allowing him to share his own story with the world
PRESS REVIEWS:
"Kenyan funk master" - San Francisco Chronicle
"Africa's James Brown." - Oakland Post
The best of all possible worlds in World Music terms: uptempo, polyrhythmic, socially conscious (but not pedantic), strikingly melodic, and eminently danceable." - San Francisco Bay Guardian
