blisteringly groovy collection of completely off-the-radar songs by libyan composer / producer najib alhoush’s group the free music, circa 1976. releasing an astonishing 10 albums, all impressively strong and equally infused by soul, funk, disco and reggae, the free music created a distinctly infectious groove that unfortunately didn’t make an impact outside of libya due to the complex political situation at the time. there is a reason it says “part 1” in the title

originally released in 1978
