Simultaneously troubling ethical quandary and vicarious, head-bobbing fun, this travelogue follows successful German DJ Frank Gossner on his journeys through West Africa in search of rare 1970s funk and Afrobeat records. While Frank acknowledges the charges of cultural imperialism related to buying valuable cultural artifacts whose owners are often uninformed about the Western market for African vinyl, he remains (mostly) endearingly self-reflexive about his complex intentions, which involve a palpable love for the music and a (seemingly) earnest desire to make scarce recordings available to the listening and dancing public in the US and Europe. Obsessive fandom, capitalist critique, and amateur ethnography collide as the awkwardly enthusiastic Frank stumbles around Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin with his portable turntable. Vexing questions of exploitation, cultural appropriation, and porous identities complicate and enhance a film certain to delight record collectors and music geeks with an interest in the fruitful, cross-pollinating coincidence of West African, US, and Caribbean vernacular music in the 1970s.  BG
