Description
Randy Weston's Uhuru Afrika is one of the earliest examples of the blending of African rhythms and progressive socially conscious jazz, and is a truly landmark album for 1960. Featuring a 24 piece big band and lyrical content from none other than Langston Hughes, Uhuru Afrika belongs on the shelf next to Max Roach�s We Insist! Freedom Now Suite and Charles Mingus� Mingus Ah Um. Banned from apartheid South Africa, this is Randy Weston�s magnum opus, reissued on 180 gram LP with download card.
