Various - Republicafrobeat Vol 3

Review by Sukumar Gurugubelli

Republicafrobeat Vol 3 – A Genre-Bending Beast That Refuses to Be Pigeonholed Let’s cut the crap. Republicafrobeat Vol 3 isn’t just another compilation album—it’s a wild ride through every damn corner of global music you didn’t know you needed. Released in 2009 by labels like Kasba Music, Cáñamo Records, and Lovemonk, this thing is an Afrobeat fever dream mashed up with funk, soul, downtempo, Latin vibes, and even some folk weirdness. Yeah, it’s messy as hell, but that’s what makes it so damn unforgettable. Credit where it’s due: DJ Floro and Ale Acosta pulled together tracks that feel like they’re from different planets, but somehow still work together. And let’s not forget El Niño De Las Pinturas for the artwork—because if you’re gonna drop something this chaotic, the cover better look like a Salvador Dalí acid trip. Now, onto the meat and potatoes. With over 40 tracks (yeah, you read that right), it’s impossible to talk about all of them without sounding like a broken record. So I’ll focus on two bangers that stuck with me like gum on a shoe. First up, "Afro Rainbow." This track hits you like a freight train wrapped in silk. The groove is nasty, man—dirty basslines, percussion that feels alive, and horns sharp enough to cut glass. It’s one of those songs that grabs your spine and turns it into a metronome. You don’t choose to move; the beat makes you move. By the time the vocals kick in, you’re already sweating like you’ve been dragged across a dancefloor in Madrid at 3 AM. Then there’s "Wouldn't That Be Fun Feat. Tony Allen (Sir Lobo & Watch.tv Mix)." Tony Allen. Need I say more? The godfather of Afrobeat himself shows up and reminds everyone why he’s untouchable. The rhythm here is hypnotic, looping around your brain until you forget what year it is. Sir Lobo and Watch.tv take his genius and slap a remix on it that’s smoother than butter on a hot skillet. It’s funky, futuristic, and raw—all at once. If this track doesn’t make you wanna grab someone and start spinning in circles, check your pulse. But here’s the kicker—the album doesn’t try to be perfect. Some tracks drag their feet, others are way too experimental for their own good. But honestly? That’s what makes it real. In a world full of polished playlists designed to numb you, Republicafrobeat Vol 3 feels like flipping through a crate of vinyl in some smoky basement in Barcelona. It’s alive, unapologetic, and dripping with personality. Final thought: Listening to this album feels like trying to eat soup with chopsticks—messy, frustrating, but oddly satisfying when you finally get a taste. Or maybe it’s just proof that Europe in 2009 was secretly plotting to reinvent music entirely. Either way, crank it loud and let the chaos wash over you.

I’m trying to find the song that she sang on 60 minutes on their piece covering Rick Rubin. This song was so peaceful. I have really felt any song more peaceful than that. I don’t think this is the song but it’s still a great song. The video has giraffe and giraffe are my favorite. Her costumes are gorgeous. And of course this song is awesome but it’s not the song in the 60 minutes piece on Rick Rubin, the producer. If anyone knows what song that is, could you please tell me. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
