    Piero Umiliani's 'Africa' was released in January 1972, an album ahead of its time includes the prog-tinged black rhythm of 'Africa To-Day'; the 'fourth world' inspiration coming from Jon Hassell's 'Green Dawn', the 'exotic' references in Martin Denny's style, check 'Lonely Village' and 'Echos'; the electronics of 'Sortilege' and the rootsy, folk music of 'Rite' and 'Folk-Tune'. An incredible album summarizes sounds and styles that will make the fortune of much more celebrated and popular musicians and artists.
