| | Darkest Light: Best Of The Lafayette Afro-Rock Band CD (1999) (Import) Germany
 $13.29 
The American-bred, Paris-based Lafayette Afro-Rock Band holds a classic status among rare groove collectors and DJs; samples from their 1970s recordings have appeared in countless hip-hop and R&B tunes. With superb musicianship, fierce grooves, and a cross-genre approach that folded in funk, rock, soul, psychedelia, and ample doses of Afro-beat, the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band deserve a higher assignment in the canon of `70s funk acts.
The name may not be familiar, but the Lafayette Afro Rock Band's grooves certainly are. But to break this music down to its base elements is to do the greater whole a grave disservice -- Darkest Light merits discussion alongside any of the great documents of classic funk. Although the title track inspired Public Enemy, "Hihache" also features a much-sampled drum intro and the relentless "Conga" later resurfaced on a volume of the Ultimate Breaks & Beats series. A veritable sampler's paradise, snippets of their hip-hugger-tight funk have served as the bedrock of innumerable rap records, most notably Public Enemy's "Show 'Em Whatcha Got." Darkest Light assembles 15 tracks from the group's mid-'70s heyday, revealing a deep, versatile unit truly justified in adopting such an international name -- their music indeed embraces both Afrobeat and Western psychedelia in equal measure, complete with hard-edged guitar riffs, incendiary sax breaks, and blistering rhythms. Yet the Lafayette Afro-Rock band was a vital creative unit in the `70s, as DARKEST LIGHT: THE BEST OF THE LAFAYETTE AFRO-ROCK BAND proves.
