(Drums of Passion)—a representative song from Olatunji in Nigeria—which he recorded in the midst of the late ’70s disco movement. This track, “Jingo,” has long been cherished as a garage classic and a landmark of tribal disco; and the 1984 track “Thousand Finger Man”—featuring memorable synths and trumpet likely influenced by the work of producer Patrick Adams, known for his eclectic sounds stemming from New York’s Latin community—this 2015 reissue pairs these two tracks.
