WINDY CITY CRATES: GHANA TO CHICAGO = DAN BOADI

THE ORIGINAL LP!

Dan Boadi rose to prominence mid-70's, topping the national charts in his native Ghana with the Abrabo LP, which apparently "sold like apples". Dan decided to try his luck in the United States, arriving in Chicago in 1978. With little fanfare, he released Money is the Root of Evil in a limited run of 500 copies. The LP's two cuts, "Money is the Root of Evil" and "Play That Funky Music" launched the propulsive Afro-Beat of Nigeria's FELA KUTI into the majestic, psychedelic abandon of the American dance floor. At least that was the intention. What should have become a venerable Loft/Warehouse monster passed unnoticed.

Re-issue from early 2000's

"Money is The Root Of All Evil" popped up on the African Disco compilation, and has been re-released a couple times.

THIS IS MONSTER AFROBEAT DISCO FUNK RECORDED RIGHT HERE IN CHI-TILLA!!!!!!

Coup d'ETat Lounge - UPCOMING EVENTS

Coup d'état is the intimate lounge inside The Shrine nightclub. So quite literally, it is a blow against the current state of lounge and nightlife culture in Chicago. Comfortable, chic and most definitely sexy, it combines rustic charm and modern design. Primitive futurism maybe? Yes it looks good in magazines, but it feels even better. Think Marvin Gaye or Raheem DeVaughn...smooth & soulful, but with some grit.

It's the perfect spot to relax, sip a well made cocktail and chill with friends. Cozy up to the bar or lounge on a banquette. You know how certain records just make you feel sexy? The right room has the same power.

Coup d'état Lounge
2109 S. Wabash
