Notes
Original LP released 1961



it came to light he was unfamiliar with the second outing by legendary percussionist Olatunji Babatunde, I immediately felt obliged to post this long OOP piece of afrojazz history...


Olatunji and his Nigerian percussion ensemble plays host to a cast of thousands that includes jazzmen such as Yusef Lateef and Clark Terry

Olatunji's joined by Ray Barretto and Montego Joe on congas,

exXxstraordiny good groove, really catching these vibes..
