Review by Brandi Starr

Meeting The Basic Needs Of The People is an electrifying album by Franck Biyong & Afrolectric Orkestra that is sure to get listeners grooving. The album features a fusion of African rhythms, funk, jazz, and soul, all brought together by Biyong's expert guitar playing and the Orkestra's tight arrangements.

The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "We Shall Overcome," featuring Biyong's soulful vocals and a driving rhythm section. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through a variety of musical styles, from the smooth jazz-infused "Mingus" to the funky "African Boogaloo."

Throughout the album, Biyong and the Orkestra showcase their impressive musical chops, with each member contributing to the overall sound. The result is a cohesive and dynamic album that is both accessible and complex.

About Franck Biyong & Afrolectric Orkestra

Franck Biyong is a Cameroonian Guitarist, composer and singer, creator of the Afrolectric sound fusing Afrobeat, Electro-Funk, Jazz and rock sounds. Attracted to music at a very early age, he spent most of his childhood in West Africa (Gabon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast) where he learned music. He left Africa for Europe where he started his musical career. Franck released 9 albums and operates outside the lines which map the trajectories of African musicians in and out of the continent. Doing so, he gained a reputation over the last ten years as one of the very few authentic innovators of modern African music, blessed with a solid and sophisticated production, a celebration of diverse influences driven by a heavyweight spatial sound.
