Oneness Of Juju were a pioneering force in the fusion of jazz, funk, and Afrocentric soul, and African Rhythms 1970-1982 brings together over a decade of their visionary work into one compelling collection. Released on the respected Strut label, this compilation spans the group's evolution from free jazz experimentation to percussion-driven, funk-minded R&B, capturing a band that consistently pushed boundaries while keeping one foot firmly on the dancefloor.
What makes African Rhythms 1970-1982 a particularly exciting listen is the breadth of sounds on offer — from transcendent free jazz to groove-heavy Afrocentric funk — showcasing the remarkable range of bandleader Plunky Branch and his collaborators. Adding further appeal for dedicated fans, the compilation includes a previously unreleased track, making this an essential listen for anyone drawn to the intersection of jazz, soul, and African musical traditions.
