The original soundtrack to one of THE groundbreaking films of African American cinema, 'Ganja & Hess' (1973). 'Ganja & Hess' is a seminal work of African American cinema, flirting with the conventions of blaxploitation and horror cinema, Bill Gunn's revolutionary independent film is a highly stylized and utterly original treatise on sex, religion, and African American identity. Starring Duane Jones ('Night Of The Living Dead') and Marlene Clark ('Midnight Cowboy', 'Enter The Dragon') as the leading roles. The soundtrack to this exceptional film was composed Sam Waymon, a creative legend who has contributed to local, national and world culture. Born in North Carolina, Sam Waymon began his musical odyssey playing along with his sister, Eunice. His sister left North Carolina in the 50s and traveled north to pursue her career. Along the way she dropped her given name and became one of music's most influential and independent musicians, known as Nina Simone.
