Released in 1975, this album fuses jazz, funk, and African sounds, exploring cultural heritage and the connections between Africa and the United States. Tracks like 'Johannesburg' celebrate the struggle for freedom and identity, while 'South Carolina' blends African rhythms and soulful harmonies, reflecting a quest for cultural reconciliation while honoring African traditions in a modern context. A must-listen for fans of socially conscious music and '70s soul jazz. This edition includes, for the first time, a second vinyl with 4 bonus tracks.
