RELEASE DATE

Soundway return once more to the Caribbean and are proud to present
Ifetayo
by
Black Truth Rhythm Band
, originally released in 1976. Led by the charismatic
Oluko Imo
,
Ifetayo
was the only release from the Afro-centric Trinidadian band and is re-issued here for the first time on CD and vinyl. Whereas most of their peers were taking inspiration from U.S. funk and soul artists such as
James Brown
, Black Truth Rhythm Band looked to Africa, fusing rhythms from Africa and the West Indies with elements of jazz, funk, calypso and soul. In 1975, band leader Imo took his musicians into the studio to record the album
Ifetayo
. Imo played bass, kalimba, conga, flute and percussion as well as lead vocals. The album was released the following year in 1976 and despite being released in the U.S., remained an underground, albeit unique and forward-thinking record that has remained out-of-print for years now.
Ifetayo
was to be the only release from Black Truth Rhythm Band, but Imo continued his music and love of African rhythms, going onto record with
Fela Kuti
in 1988 and later on perform with members of Fela's
Egypt 80
band. Re-issued here for the first time, the CD edition comes with an exclusive bonus track.
