Description
Limited to 1000 copies, released for RSD 2017. Replica original artwork.
Marijata was a group made up of three members – Kofi 'Electric' Addison on
drums, Bob Fischlan on organ and Nat Osmanu on guitar, hailing from Ghana.
'This Is Marijata' is the groups first LP; released originally on the Gapophone
label – it is pure, rootsy, raw, driving African funk music of the highest
order, now highly sought-after in both its original and previously reissued
forms.
Addison, Osmanu and Fischlan formed a band called the Sweet Beans with a young singer and guitarist, namely the legendary Pat Thomas. They released 'False Lover' in 1974 on Gapophone Records before recording 'This Is
Marijata' and then 'Pat Thomas Introduces Marijata' shortly afterwards.
