A set with a vintage-looking cover, but which is actually a new recording from this legendary group – their first return to the studio in over 50 years, on an album that makes it feel as if they haven't aged a day! The music is rooted in heavy percussion, but also has plenty of great horn interplay too – a blend of Brazilian percussion and some of the sax and trumpet lines you'd know from an Afro-Funk group – served up in a mode that really gives these guys a unique approach to their sound! The whole thing's wonderful – instantly timeless, and with a quality that transports the listener across borders with each new track – on titles that include "Canto Para Omolu/Obaluaye", "Tire O Calundu", "Preto Velho E Yaya", "Lembarenganga", "Os Oinhos De Yaya", and "Abertura".
