Gershwin / Amsterdam Sinfonietta / Dufallo - Porgy & Bess Suite - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

G. Gershwin - Porgy & Bess-Hlts [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/19/1996

2011 album available on vinyl for the first time. Master percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah joins forces once again with dubmaster Adrian Sherwood at the controls and a whole host of guest musicians, including contributions from dancehall pioneer Jazzwad and electronics from Adamski. All the elements of a classic African Head Charge album are present spaced out dub, tribal chants, ecstatic trance, but updated with a rugged sound system undercarriage. Arguably some of the hardest hitting AHC rhythms laid down in the studio to date. Part of an extensive reissue campaign that sees all of African Head Charge's 1990 - 2011 work presented in lovingly put together new editions, a companion to the reissue of the band's early work that On-U Sound undertook in 2016.Side One1.
