This is another gem from laswell/musso corp. This is more true african music. Foday musso, trilak gurtu, pharoah sanders, bernnie worrell, bootsy collins, bill laswell. Each song is either a jam of trilak gurtu on drums and tabla, and aiyb on percussion. Or with the full band african jamming dub style. If you dont have this change that its a keeper. fans of pharoah sanders solo stuff, african music fodays work, fela kuti. enjoy

Rock-solid solo set of African jazz from the Material percussionist. As is often the case with this circle of musicians, the record is something of a Material jam session, with the usual suspects (Bill Laswell, Nicky Skopelitis, Bernie Worrell) joined by guests Bootsy Collins on space bass, Pharaoh Sanders on sax, and John McLaughlin collaborator Trilok Gurtu on percussion. Half the tracks are acoustic sets involving Dieng, Gurtu, and Daniel Ponce; the rest are group jams where everybody shines. Nothing as intense as, say, Memory Serves or Seven Souls, but groovy and heady just the same. Highlights are Dungul Dub; the fitting Soweto Funk, with one of Worrell's best Hammond solos; the title track, where Sanders doubles sax and ethnic flute over Umar Bin Hassan's beat poetry; and Boka Devotion, which closes with Bootsy leading the band into a quick run-through of McLaughlin's Marbles. Funky stuff.
