Manifesto

by The Souljazz Orchestra

Manifesto cover art

The Canadian ensemble's third studio album is a fiercely political, highly energetic exploration of Fela Kuti-inspired Afrobeat. The massive, brass-heavy arrangements are layered over incredibly tight, driving polyrhythms and socially conscious lyricism, proving the enduring, global relevance of the genre's revolutionary spirit. It cemented them as one of the tightest, most authentic modern Afrobeat groups.
