The original soundtrack of the 1971 obscure Erotic Italian-Yugoslav movie 'Maddalena', directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz and starring Lisa Gastoni, Frank Wolff, Ivo Garrani, Paul Gozlino and Lucia Alberti. 'Chi Ami' was also used as the theme for the BBC-TV series 'The Life and Times of David Lloyd George' and reached the 2nd place in the UK Pop charts in 1981.

Ethio-jazz hero Mulatu Astake and His Ethiopian Quintet "Afro-Latin Soul" album from 1966! As the title suggest this is more leaning towards the Latin-soul jazz sound. Beautiful vibes, piano, and drumming from Mulatu with stirring haunting melodies. Recommended!

Official reissue of this landmark Mulatu Astatke album! Strut do the right thing and reissue this all-time classic Mulatu album from 1966. One of the best Ethio jazz albums ever.

First ever retrospective of the golden era of Haitian music from the big band sound of compas direct in the mid-'50s to the inspired mini jazz scene of the '60s and '70s. The album covers influential bandleaders such as Nemours Jean-Baptiste and Webert Sicot and the wave of smaller bands that followed in their wake, many building ultra-loyal audiences from their local neighbourhoods. "A fascinating document that swings like hell." Mojo ****
