Lagos In Paris has opened the mystery of ever a track to catapult you across continents and decades in one continuous groove. They make one win as they pull off something rare with their blistering second single, "Afro G Western," an amalgam that seems reverberatingly solar-powered and drenched in eternal soul.
But rather than refining their sound, Lagos In Paris never backs down from boldness. They think big, cinematic, and immersive sound here is painstakingly sourced and sewn into place, and each moment carves out real estate with grit and grace, something the group has proudly dubbed Afraw. That's house, techno, and electronica mixed up with afro beats, funk, reggae, and blues.
"Afro G Western" hooks you with its dusty desert blues, resonating with the raw soul of the Sahel as it falls apart into layers of thick electronic texture and G-Funk swagger. The song thumps with the attitude of old blues ballads, tired but knowing, defiant but steady. It's as if Muddy Waters had been helmed to a rocket ship forged by Dre and Daft Punk, with Lagos In Paris behind the wheel.
Every beat, synth line, and vocal sample feels strategically placed. It all has a sort of cinematic tension, like the soundtrack to a gritty, heat-baked Western set in 3025. Lagos In Paris creates a world where cultural boundaries are fluid, redefined, and gleefully traversed.
What's exciting is how the trio are just two tracks in and already forging a distinct lane. With "Afro G Western," Lagos In Paris creates more than music; they construct a new soundscape. It is a sanctuary for rhythm rebels, nomads, and all music lovers that doesn't shy away from blurring every line.
