fortieth post


Kicking off the new year with some Afrobeat-jazz-disco from the South African singer, Letta Mbulu. David Axelrod produced her first album in ’67, but radio stations didn’t play it out of fear that no one would understand the words. Quincy Jones later recorded her voice on the historic ROOTS soundtrack.
