Impi — Impi 1971 (South Africa, Progressive,Jazz Rock)
Rare sole 1971 album by African influenced progressive rock band which included members of «The Bats» and «The Square Set»; elements of pastoral flute / pennywhistle tinged folk mixed with psych guitar, jazz rock brass, soulful vocals and thundering percussion. Comparisons with Vertigo prog rockers «Jade Warrior», early «Gravy Train», «Assegai» and jazz rockers like «Chicago» and «Greatest Show On Earth».High hopes for this one.
Cool cover and supposedly rock oriented, this was more of a progressive pop experience.
Much like the cover there are some tribal beat elements, percussive in nature.
The band doesn’t really bring it though, they get real cute with all of their arrangements making for some acceptable music.
It’s pop oriented.
