Reviews & Discussion

Review by genet Jan 30, 2005 (edited over 7 years ago)
Not only is this a demonstration of the drum & percussion genius of Keith LeBlanc, it has more political, rhetorical power than most of Malcolm's recorded speeches. Sadly, the superb black & white cover photograph was not used when the 12" was released by Tommy Boy in the U.S.. LeBlanc *still* remains unacknowledged for his towering body of work and massive influence. And Malcolm X, were he not cut down in the prime of his life, would have gone on to exert political power and create social change that one can only imagine-and the possibilities are extraordinary.
