Sama Layuca

by McCoy Tyner

Sama Layuca cover art

A powerful and eclectic album that finds McCoy Tyner expanding his sonic palette with a larger ensemble and a deep dive into Latin and African rhythms. The music is a brilliant fusion of Tyner's signature modal power with a rich, percussive, and danceable energy. It's a key document of the world fusion movement of the 1970s and a high-water mark of Tyner's post-Coltrane career.
