    Matsuli Music re-issue 'Black Fire', the 1976 debut album of legendary Cape Town jazz funk band Pacific Express. This album is hard evidence of that 1976 musical moment in which Pacific Express forged an entirely new South African sound and musical identity out of what was ‘Cape Town Jazz’, Latin, R&B, soul, pop and fusion.
