Okay, this is severely off-topic for a guitar forum (although there is a wonderfully funky guitar in the texture), but this is such a rarity that I have to share.
This is an album that found its way into my dad's collection (and subsequently into mine) back in the late 70s/early 80s. It's of the South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela and the West African group Hedzoleh Soundz. Its pure Afro-Jazz, with an emphasis on Afro. I've been searching for a CD release since I can't really listen to LPs anymore (for the younger members, those are those funny looking, black, oversized platters.) Thankfully, someone transferred the entire album to a well-mastered 'Tube clip.
As a trumpet player, I'm a fan of Masekela in general, but this gem of an album is a great listen.

Enjoy!
