Nico Gomez and His Afro Percussion Inc – Ritual marlena shaw weaving spiritual jazz with soulA rare Belgian Latin Afro funk masterpiece fiery, fearless, and built for the dancefloor or deep listening. Originally released in 1971, Ritual is the crown jewel of Belgian bandleader Nico Gomezs wild rhythmic experiments. A seamless fusion of Latin grooves, Afro percussion, and tightly arranged funk, its a record that sounds like it couldve been cut in Havana or Lagos, but was actually born in the unlikely musical melting pot of 1970s Belgium.
