Catalog no.: ONUCD0009013

Item ID: 335868

Led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, African Head Charge formed in the early 80s and, under a shifting lineup, have released seven albums of afrocentric dub psychedelia, most of which have been produced by Adrian Sherwood and released on his On-U Sound label. As a precursor to the imminent release of their long-awaited new album Vision Of A Psychelic Africa, AHC and On-U present a new reissue of Songs Of Praise, which was originally released in 1991 and has been out of print for the better part of five years. Regarded by many as the bands crowning moment, Songs Of Praise was always one of On-Us best and most consistent selling titles, and remains as much in demand today as when it first appeared. Not very many reggae albums acknowledge american folk music archivist Alan Lomax in the credits, but African Head Charge don't make typical reggae albums.
