Hello,
I just discovered the Dur Dur Band and I love their awesome funk. This brought me to this great website! What other artists here are similar to Dur Dur Band?
also if they have any other albums! I’d love to buy/listen
WOW – stunned to be listening to Dur Dur on Late Junction radio 3. I used to dance to Dur Dur every Saturday in Mogadishu…this band was a blazing good night out.I still have my collection of Dur Dur tapes.. so precious. Glad the music is being shared more widely.
