MATATA's debut album, "Wanna Do My Thing - The Complete", is a delightful blast from the past that will have you grooving like it's 1973. This Kenyan funk band, known for their infectious beats and energetic performances, really bring the heat on this compilation of their greatest hits.

The band's tight instrumentation and soulful vocals make for a truly immersive listening experience that will have you reaching for your bell bottoms and platform shoes in no time.
But it's not all just fun and games with MATATA - the band also tackles some weightier themes on tracks like "Wanna Do My Thing" and "Feelin' Funky". Their socially conscious lyrics are a welcome addition to their funky sound, showing that they have both style and substance.
Overall, "Wanna Do My Thing - The Complete" is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject a bit of groove into their daily routine. So dust off your disco ball and get ready to boogie down with MATATA - this album is one funky ride you won't want to miss.
