Shango was one of many solo guises of the legendary Afrika Bambaataa, a lo-fi and early electro cult classic, ‘Shango Message’ was released in 1983 and was produced by Bill Laswell. A Celluloid Records staple,  it combines Bambaataa’s wizardry with some fresh breaks ‘n’ beats resulting in a sparse yet funk-fuelled breaker’s anthem. Shango!
