{"product_id":"orlando-julius_jaiyede-afro_2023_lba","title":"Jaiyede Afro","description":"The label Strut presents a limited transparent vinyl pressing of the seminal album by one of Nigerian music's all-time legends, the late great Orlando Julius, in a tantalizing collaboration with the London supergroup The Heliocentrics, originally released in 2014.Starting with his club residency in Ibadan in the mid-60s, Orlando Julius laid the groundwork for an entire generation of afrobeat and afro funk stars, going on to play with Louis Armstrong, The Crusaders, Hugh Masekela, and Lamont Dozier, among others, famously co-writing the classic Going Back To My Roots in 1979 while based in the United States.For Jaiyede Afro, Julius returned to his own roots, revisiting several compositions from his early years that had never been recorded before.Recorded at The Heliocentrics' fully analog HQ in north London, the band takes Orlando's sound in new progressive directions, retaining the raw grain of his early work while adding psychedelic touches and adventurous new arrangements.They also contribute a live favorite, the cover of James Brown's In The Middle, and a series of memorable shorter interludes.","brand":"Orlando Julius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307685847384,"sku":null,"price":20230203.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4062548051438.jpg?v=1779009780","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/orlando-julius_jaiyede-afro_2023_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
