Howard Roberts

The soundtrack to 'Lord Shango' has it all! Expect hypnotic Yoruba drums, call-and-response chants, spiritual belting gospel choirs with doo-wop backings... to more contemporary R&B jams with an easy-going Al Green soul-vibe, blazing funk (the more 'stereotypical' Blaxploitation sound), an array of fantastic jazz permutations, soothing piano ballads combined with cool mid-tempo horns... and even 'loungy' Latin fusion jazz-funk. This album is a must-have piece of art that just begs for a place in every serious soundtrack collectors' collection. Originally released in 1975 on Bryan Records (the musical division of Bryanston Pictures) it has since then become a hard to find collectable record that fetches high prices on the second hand market. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first official reissue of Howard Robert's classic soundtrack to 'Lord Shango'. This unique album comes as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition featuring the original artwork. Also included is a double-sided insert featuring original movie stills and lengthy-exclusive liner notes by renowned Blaxploitation author Mark H. Harris. T
