For many many years, Umojah has been "holdin' it downg" in Cruz as one of the most active live bands on the island. A veteran unit of excellent performers, Umojah teamed up with the great Karl Pitterson (producer for Steel Pulse's classic late 70's work) for this solid album of live roots. Rich production, excellent songwriting and a mystical lead singing voice make this an ilahful disc to listen to - start to finish. Raspect to Babz, Talawah & Len.
