Step into the transcendent soundscape of Gasper Lawal's Ajomasé, a debut that not only captures but masterfully elevates the essence of 1980s Afro-fusion.



Originally released on Lawal's own CAP Records, this album is a pioneering foray into the fusion of Yoruba rhythms with jazz and rock. Against the backdrop of the vibrant 1980s music scene, Ajomasé stands apart with its audacious blend of influences, crafting a meditative and spacious auditory experience like no other. Strut's reissue, remastered from the original tapes, lets these genre-blurring sounds resonate with pristine clarity.



Although the album's tracklist might be elusive, the sonic themes are crystal clear. Each composition on Ajomasé artfully intertwines traditional Yoruba percussion with the improvisational spirit of jazz and the edge of rock. Lawal's deft hand at melding these elements creates a rich tapestry that's both rhythmically complex and melodically enchanting.



Complete with an insert featuring liner notes penned by Lawal himself, this black vinyl reissue is more than just a record-it's a tribute to a visionary artist's bold exploration of sound. A must-have for collectors and music enthusiasts, it promises to transport listeners with its timeless fusion and continue to inspire future generations worldwide.
