I had no idea who they were, and they came out on stage in these grass skirts. I was tripping, and during the concert the music was bringing me higher and higher. For the last selection they came down into the audience, and I was powerfully drawn to the band physically. I got up from my chair and moved in to their circle, dancing as they played. I experienced a state of ecstasy that I have never experienced before or since. I had moved into a realm so profoundly radiant that I recall being in a state of shock for hours afterwards.

This along with the recent Chisa records comp is the best Masekela has to offer (as far as i know). I think this lp was also recorded in Lagos with some help from Fela (or at his studio, i'll have to check my lp). Anyway, it's great to see it posted here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
