    Originally released in 1975 on Umiliani's Italian library music label, Omicron 'Continente Nero' is the perfect companion release to his earlier album of 1972 'Africa. This album significantly expanded Piero Umiliani's music perspectives, incorporating partially explored rhythmic variations already used in 'Percussioni ed Effetti Speciali' and 'To-Day's Sound'. It does so by taking inspiration from a tradition that starts from the divine Fela Kuti and reaches the amateur and field recordings by musicologists such as David Toop, but also from the Afro- American jazz history of Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Coltrane, Max Roach and more.
