Karl Hector & The Malhouns 'Girma's Lament' (Now Again, 2011) (mp3)

Don't know much about Karl Hector but I heard this head-turning piece of heavy funk-hop with a spy theme edge and a melancholy Afro-Beat brass chorus in Sounds Of The Universe yesterday and I can't get enough.

Don't know if it's contemporary or a reissue but it is damn good. File alongside The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
