The awesome title track is what drew my attention to this band and I included it on my Afrofunk Roddus Sampler a while back. American based funky jazz outfit with strong African influence this album doesn't fail to live up to it's promise of  Afrocentric funky jazz music that keeps me interested throughout. Not all upbeat dance music, we get variety with some slower more jazz inflected numbers and although not pure Afrofunk like from the dark Continent itself, still a worthy effort. A Roddus Rating of 4/5.
