Check out this hypnotic groove from Mandrill.   This African-influenced funk band put out a number of wild albums in the 70s.   Hang Loose was one of their bigger hits and their live performances of it were pretty great.   Check out this footage from Soul Train.   Other great Mandrill tracks include the epic “Fencewalk”, “Mango Meat”, and the much-sampled “Fat City Strut”.
