Black Truth Rhythm Band - You People

Подробнее о видео

The Black Truth Rhythm Band’s 1976 album ‘Ifetayo’ is an important and overlooked chapter in Trinidad’s rich musical history that blends West African influences with jazz, funk and the incisive social commentary of the calypso tradition.
Led by the charismatic Oluko Imo with Andre Labeijoba Wallace on guitar, the group drew on the strong connections to Yoruba culture and Orisa traditions in Trinidad, looking to Africa for inspiration and reflecting the burgeoning Black Power movement of the time.
Recorded at KH studios in Port of Spain, Ifetayo (Yoruba for ‘Love excels all’) was the group’s sole album release. Imo contributed lead vocals and played bass, kalimba, conga, flute and percussion, channeling music from both sides of the Atlantic into a distinctive and unique slice of Afro Trinidadian expression.
