Soulful Afro Fusion Funk Reggae brought to you by a motley crew of London-based musicians from a myriad of cultures and nationalities.

Evening At Hanamachi and Horomi & Rikishi are both gorgeous tracks. Waka-no-ura Bay however is absolutely banging.

The uncredited female vocalist on this record is Dolette McDonald.

Perdido (which means 'lost' in Spanish) has incorrectly been spelt 'Perdito'. It's a Jazz standard that was originally written and composed by Juan Tizol - a Puerto Rican trombonist and composer who played in Duke Ellington's band.

Excellent sampling of Gil Scott-Heron's live version of "Home Is Where The Hatred Is"...taken from the double LP "It's Your World".
