A masterpiece that resonates with the spirit of funk and social consciousness
Based on funk, absorbing jazz and Latin elements, this album depicts the chaos and hope of everyday life through sound. It is filled with rich rhythms and humanity.
This is one of War's most representative early works, and as the title suggests, it deals with urban realities. The multi-layered groove woven by the horn section and percussion is socially conscious yet bright and inclusive. The album features many improvisational elements, and its jam-like development creates a natural sense of rhythm. It expresses the community spirit and spiritual aspects that underlie black music, showcasing the diversity of funk and soul.
