Nyahbinghi

Focusing on the raw, 'ethnic' sounds created by a handful of Rasta percussionists, this 3 CD set gathers 50 essential 'Nyahbinghi' sides from the sixties & early seventies. At the time of their original release, most of these recordings were considered way too off-beam by the general listening public and, as a result, the discs faded into obscurity. Today, however, there is a renewed interest in these often dark & moody sounds, with collectors paying vast sums for early examples of the genre. This release should therefore not only satisfy the demands of these numerous fans, but also introduce the hypnotic style to a whole new listening public. Three paper sleeves in a deluxe flip-top box.
