"Return To The Mothers' Garden (More Funky Sounds Of Female Africa 1971-1982) is a vibrant compilation celebrating the women of African funk, soul, and disco. Spanning a golden era, it showcases ten powerful tracks of infectious grooves, soaring vocals, and raw energy, offering a rare glimpse into the artistry of female voices who shaped modern Africa. In 2018 came first Mothers' Garden compilation on International Womens' Day. This compilation looked to shine a light on the often-under-acknowledged musical contribution from female African artists. In 2019 Volume 2 was released and yet again with some of Africa's most recognized female artists alongside some lesser-known artists. Whilst the roster might have changed slightly, the quality of music is as funky as before and the message stays the same."

"Experience the profound legacy of The Last Poets with their new release, Africanism. Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan revisit and re-energize some of their seminal works such as 'When The Revolution Comes,' 'Gash Man' and 'Niggers Are Scared of Revolution,' infusing them with fresh and potent new soundscapes. Joining the Poets are the late, great Tony Allen (Fela Kuti) -- laying the album's foundations with legendary Afrobeat rhythms -- Egypt 80 guitarist and bassist Akinola Adio Oyebola and Kunle Justice, jazz keyboardist Kaidi Tatham (dubbed as 'The UK's Herbie Hancock') and saxophonist Courtney Pine. Africanism is the result of vibrant live sessions in Brooklyn and London, recorded and mixed by producer Prince Fatty. The album bridges spoken-word poetry with a bold fusion of Afrobeat and contemporary jazz, where live instruments amplify the Poets' raw and unflinching verses."
