An explosive archival collection bringing the deeply overlooked, incredibly tight Sierra Leonean funk pioneer back into the spotlight. Strongly predating Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, Pino's relentless James Brown-inspired stage shows and heavy soul rhythms dominated West African clubs in the late 1960s. This retrospective successfully restored his reputation as one of the true foundational godfathers of modern African funk.
