Afrodizz brings the genuine Afro Funk ruckus. Formed in 2002 under the lead of jazz guitarist Gabriel Aldama, this Montreal-based powerhouse has quickly become one of Canada's premiere Afrobeat outfits. Drawing inspiration from the work of the legendary Fela Kuti, these eight stellar musicians use their jazz experience to expand on the foundation sound with a modern urban touch

In 2003, Afrodizz independently distributed a four track EP that became an instant classic. Two tracks were selected for a 12" release on Adrian Gibson's Freestyle Records imprint. The single "No Time" became a big hit, and was playlisted by such tastemakers as Toronto's Movement Collective, Quantic, Snowboy, and other DJs worldwide.

Watch for a series of tour dates in UK & Canada. Afrodizz is ready to get you up. Prepare to move!
