Unreleased recordings of future members of Aktuala and I.P. Son Group! The history takes us back in the alternative Milan of the early ’70s, to the flavor of the first jam-blues of that era when musicians from different parts of the world (India, Africa, or South-America), of disparate background and culture, were used to gather to experiment just with an authentic sense of stay together. Here, the devotion to the blues roots remains strong but leaks in the compositions an aerial and wandering component that is colored as if by magic of exotic and spiritual accents. Hypnotic patterns of guitars flowing almost as raga-grooves slowed, free-jazz horns blowing winds of the ancient seas of the south, while voices and percussions span distant horizons now Latinos or Africans. Gruppo Afro Mediterraneo throws his eye on a cultural dimension more extensive and composite and therefore constitutes a fundamental historical document for a crucial period of the Italian underground.
