foolsgoldAnyone who’s spent any amount of time with me within the last year has been subjected to my love of Afrobeat and Juju music.  There is something about beautiful melodies played over deep rhythms that can keep me going forever.  I first discovered Juju when checking out Awesome Tapes From Africa, and have since  devoted most of my time to finding the best African sounds.  Fool’s Gold is a Los Angeles collective that weaves together western pop aesthetics with African rhythms and melodies.  Aside from the soundtrack of O.C. and Stiggs, I haven’t found many other American groups that can successfully tackle the Juju sound.  Fool’s Gold do it well.  Their new album is out on the 29th.  Bonus Memory Tapes remix.
