Reissue, originally released in 1971. Japanese jazz drummer \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAkira Ishikawa\u003c\/b\u003e has recorded countless albums with the band \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCount Buffalos\u003c\/b\u003e, though few are quite as revered and sought-after as 1971 set \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfrican Rock\u003c\/i\u003e. Of his albums, this is certainly the most dazzling and impactful, flawlessly produced. More than \"African rock\", it is psychedelic spiritual jazz with funky veins; the set is a brilliant blend of Akira Ishikawa's favorite styles with juicy, tribal, and deep percussive elements -- his drums are flanked by \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKenji Shiraishi\u003c\/b\u003e's marimba and \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMasami Kawahara\u003c\/b\u003e's percussion -- which in some moments they recall \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFela Kuti\u003c\/b\u003e (see the superb \"Animals \/ Mnama\") and in many other the electric \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMiles Davis\u003c\/b\u003e. He brings a completely new global sound to his music with the inclusion of the electronic component with the \"tabbing\" of \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKimio Mizutani\u003c\/b\u003e's guitar solos and electric piano accompaniment by the great \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHiromasa \"Colgen\" Suzuki\u003c\/b\u003e (also on acoustic piano and composition). Undoubtedly one of the best records produced in Japan in the '70s. Unmissable! Fully licensed and remastered from the original tapes. Includes OBI and insert.","brand":"Cinedelic Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41895138623666,"sku":"CNLP 063LP","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/5507\/3714\/products\/CNLP2063LP_CU.jpg?v=1650728989","url":"https:\/\/cromulentrecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/akira-ishikawa-his-count-buffalos-african-rock-lp-rsd","provider":"Cromulent Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
