The only self-released album by Nomads, an Afro ensemble formed in Detroit. African-American producer Earl "King Mellowman" Clarke, who has been instrumental in bringing reggae and calypso to Detroit and continues to be a trusted figure in the scene, participated in the production. African rhythms and melodies are seamlessly interwoven with reggae, calypso, soul, funk, and dub influences to create a fascinating sound. Total 9 ambitious tracks, including the soul dub "Africa for Africans" with beautiful vocals, the funk rock "The Journey", and the sweet reggae dub "Freedom Fighters". The cover, which conveys the band's feelings for Africa, is also amazing.
デトロイトにて結成されたアフロ・アンサンブルNomadsによる自主リリースによる唯一作。デトロイトにレゲエとカリプソを浸透させ現在もシーンが信頼を置くアフリカ系アメリカ人プロデューサーEarl "King Mellowman" Clarkeらがプロデュースに参加。アフリカンなリズムとメロディにレゲエ、カリプソ、ソウル、ファンク、ダブ等をシームレスに織り交ぜ魅惑的なサウンドを作り上げています。美しいヴォーカルが歌うソウル・ダブ”Africa for Africans”、ファンクロック”The Journey”、スウィートレゲエダブ”Freedom Fighters”を筆頭に意欲的な楽曲が並びます。ジャケもいいですね。これは最高。
