Description
Soundway presents a remastering of the 1976 album ‘Ifetayo’ by Black Truth Rhythm Band, with the addition of the single ‘Imo’ included on the 1LP.
An important and overlooked chapter in Trinidad’s rich musical history, this record blends West African influences with jazz, funk and the incisive social commentary of the calypso tradition.
Led by the charismatic Oluko Imo, 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.
