Album Notes & Community Reviews
Captured live with an elite group of New York session heavyweights including Lonnie Liston Smith and Bernard Purdie, the Argentine saxophonist channels deep political fury and cultural pride into a blazing set of Afro-Cuban and South American-infused jazz. The performances are characterized by Barbieri's intense, overblown tenor tone, roaring passionately over densely layered, polyrhythmic percussion. It captures a critical phase in his career where fierce avant-garde sensibilities were seamlessly integrated with deeply rooted indigenous folk forms.
