Roforofo Fight


Each of the four songs on the 1972 album 'Roforofo Fight' clocks in at 12 to 17 minutes and there's a slight slide toward more 1970's sounding rhythms in the happyfeet beats of the title track and the varied yet rocksolid drums in 'Go Slow' There's just a hint of reggae in 'Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am' in the pace vocal delivery ethereal keyboards and lilting yet dramatic minor melodic lines The James Brown influence is strongly heard in the lean nervous guitar strums of 'Question Jam Answer' and the horns cook in a way that they might have had Brown been more inclined to let his bands go into improvisational jams
