This is another one of the tunes I heard late at night while I was camping on the Oregon Coast at Fort Stevens during a few different Septembers from 2009 - 2011. I had also heard (the DJ emailed me the playlists):
Tame Impala - Expectations, which led me to eventually hearing Runway, Houses, City, Clouds
The London Souls - She's So Mad
Screaming Females - A New Kid/Zoo Of Death (from a Daytrotter session)
Queens Of The Stone Age - I Think I Lost My Headache
T. Rex - Mystic Lady
Lou Reed - I'm So Free
Dungen - Barnen Undar
Grizzly Bear - Colorado
...and many others, including one I'll eventually post on here.
The Daktaris were right up my alley. I loved Fela Kuti, and was probably listening to a lot of his music at the time I first heard Musicawa Silt. The big saxy sound, the funky rhythm, the beat the beat the beat!
They were actually a bunch of New York session musicians who recorded a one off album and fooled people into thinking they were some long lost Afrobeat group. The group references its own prank in the track title "Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti", which backwards, reads "It Is All A Big Hustle".
I haven't been able to find a photo that I actually trust to be the real Daktaris, so here's a photo of their one album:
