Marrying traditional African rhythms with the bold arrangements and highly melodic sounds of American pop, soul, funk and R&B.
Orlando Julius and the Afro Sounders, recorded between 1970 and 1973 in Ginger Baker's studio in Lagos, represents Julius working as a composer and producer with more creative freedom than his earlier recordings, recording 24 tracks with a close-knit group of musicians. The result is an album that stands as a testament to Julius' genius, and one that sounds just as good as the day it was recorded.
