Spirits Rejoice!

by Louis Moholo Octet

Spirits Rejoice! cover art

A monumental and explosive album from the community of exiled South African musicians and their British counterparts in London. Led by the powerhouse drummer Louis Moholo, the music is a torrent of joyous and defiant energy. It masterfully blends the infectious, buoyant melodies of South African 'township jive' with the fiery, cathartic intensity of European free improvisation. It stands as one of the greatest documents of the UK free jazz scene and a powerful political statement.
