    This is the first ever internationally released new studio album by one of the all-time legends of Nigerian music, Orlando Julius and it is backed by the incredibly versatile London outfit, The Heliocentrics.

    On 'Jaiyede Afro', Julius takes us back to his roots, revisiting several compositions from his early years which have never previously been recorded. The album was recorded at the Heliocentrics’ fully analogue studio in North London. Much like their their memorable collaborations with Mulatu Astatke and Lloyd Miller, the band takes Orlando’s sound into new, progressive directions, retaining the raw grit of his early work and adding psychedelic touches and adventurous new arrangements.
