Doctor L, Tony Allen et al. - Psyco On Da Bus [2001]

To call Tony Allen undescovered is absurd, however this album is relatively under appreciated and verges on a genre of it's own, recorded during Allen's tour at the turn of the millenium it seemed to go relatively unnoticed. Certainly it's blend of genres if not groundbreaking is beautiful enough to deserve constant rotation - groove or smooth its a heady blend of educated music and at least for the moment moves me forward from my afrobeat obsession to pastures new...

Belgian Afrobeat Association - The King Is Among Us [2003]

I'd say this is a fairly underscovered contemporary Afrobeat with an ensemble swing feel at times - the instrumentals are fantastic and luckily there's quality vocals too - beyond that I know little about them - I haven't really even googled them properly - I'm just getting this out because I wanted to post something and this is obscure/rare enough to be worthy /deserving of promotion

Enjoy

Rhythm Funk Masters - Afro-American-Arctic [2007]

This was requested on http://flatsoulspreading.blogspot.com and since I'm a big fan of old school Afrobeat and these fellahs have a nice Jazz Funk Afrobeat groove going there she blows
