Release Date 09-02-2024
Cat. No. SNDWLP033X
Format 12" Vinyl
Style Jazz-Funk, Afrobeat, Funk, Calypso

Ifetayo connects Trinidadian calypso's social commentary with West African rhythms, jazz and funk. Led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Oluko Imo, Black Truth Rhythm Band drew on Yoruba culture and Orisa traditions as well as the Black Power movement of the 1970s. Recorded at KH Studios in Port of Spain and released in 1976, the album features Imo on bass, kalimba, conga, flute and percussion alongside his lead vocals. Soundway's remastered and recut LP brings the band's only album back to vinyl, adding the single Imo to the six-track original programme. The seven selections trace the group's connections between Africa and the Caribbean.

Format: Vinyl LP, remastered and recut reissue
Label: Soundway Records
