Hugh Masekela - Introducting Hedzoleh Soundz (1973)

FEEL THE BEAT AND DANCE BABE!
Download Hugh Masekela - Introducting Hedzoleh Soundz (1973)

African music from Ghana Band -- Hedzoleh Soundz
They set up a fantastic groove. Most of the
tracks are 3/4-6/8 Nanigo Rhythm.
On top, Hugh Masekela solos.

So, it will not sound like Masekela's South African
or American Funk grooves either.
If you like Fela Kuti, you will love this album..

A return to the Goddess, ego loss and the Gaian Mind are all back on the menu today.
Imagine Noam Chomsky and add a healthy dose of LSD and Mushrooms to an acute sense of humour and you'd get closer to Terence McKenna.

Explore this man's weird and wonderful world of drugs and psychedelia and open your mind to a whole new paradigm.
