Description
Issued on CD for the very first time, this beautiful album was drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo's second as a leader. His group, Viva La Black, now included younger members of the South African and Caribbean diaspora, including the Jazz Warrior Steve Williamson. Arguably overlooked on release, the album, newly remastered from the tapes and including two extra bonus tracks, sounds vibrant and fresh and demonstrates Louis' strength as a bandleader in the Art Blakey style.
Recorded at Redan Studios, London, 27th January 1988
