Among the most elusive Afrodisia pressings, Black Goddess repays every moment spent tracking it down.

The soundtrack from Ola Balogun's film: Black Goddess. An Afro-Brazilian film. Written and directed by Ola Balogun. Delegate Producer Jece Valadao. Starring: Jorge Coutini, Sonia Santos, Zozimo Bulbul, Lea Garcia. An Afrocult Foundation Project. Haastrup crops again as a member of the short-lived but magisterial African-jazz quartet Afrocult Foundation, whose sole release was this soundtrack album.

The other musicians are the Lijadu Sisters’s producer Biddy Wright on keyboards and bass guitar, Dele Okonkwo on soprano and tenor saxophones, and drummer Remi Kabaka (who was in demand on the London session scene during the early 1970s, working with the Rolling Stones, Ginger Baker and Paul McCartney among many others. Kabaka’s son, percussionist Remi Kabaka Jr, incidentally, is a regular participant in Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz).
