This 1976 award-winning live album has a strong African flavour.Probably the last great lp before the rot set in with the move to easy listening fusion later that year.Some cracking tracks and overall a strong set including the jazz dance killers "Hiromi" and "Pastral" however you can hear the direction which Sadao was moving with the easy skanking "Maraica" .
Ripped@320 from the original vinyl which made a cd issue in Japan now long deleted.

Thanks for posting this one. I have often wondered about this one, Mbali and Open Road. I love the self-titled one that you posted and have it on LP. And I like the 60s stuff too. Truly appreciate all these great Japanese records you have posted recently Bacoso.
