Olu Dara's In The World—From Natchez To New York is a captivating musical journey that weaves together blues, soul, funk, folk, and world music influences into a sophisticated yet timeless sound. Originally released in 1998, this album showcases Dara's versatility as he moves from traditional street vendor chants set to Afro-Caribbean beats to electric guitar-driven blues tracks that manage to sound both archaic and contemporary.
This limited remastered edition on striking green okra vinyl brings new life to Dara's genre-blending masterpiece, with only 1000 copies available for collectors. The album's unique blend of cultural influences—spanning from the Mississippi Delta to New York City—creates a sonic tapestry that captures the essence of American musical traditions while pushing creative boundaries in ways reminiscent of artists like Taj Mahal.
