Uganda (Dawn Of Rock)

Highly sought-after underground Japanese rock rarity, originally released in 1972. Available as the original LP in Box version & Tip-on Sleeve with OBI version. The respected Japanese jazz drummer Akira Ishikawa was not messing around when he recorded the 'Uganda (Dawn of Rock)'. For this offering, originally released in 1972 , Ishikawa takes us on a deep tripped-out journey. This is a fusion of progressive and psych rock with African percussion workouts, dergy-wah wah blues-funk, and jazzy sensibilities; with different genres morphing and uniting as they progress. For this album, Akira is joined by Hideaki Chihara on bass, guitarist Kimio Mizutani, sounding at times like an early 70s Peter Green, percussionist Larry Sunaga and composer Takeru Muraoka.
