The last place you would expect a band specialising in authentic afro and latin soul to originate from is Canada, yet that is exactly what you get from Ottowa based Soul Jazz Orchestra. Formed in 2002 the 6 member band recreate the afro grooves of the 60s and 70s to devastating effect whilst delivering a message that is both political and spiritual.

The track from the latest podcast was taken from the band’s 2nd studio album, ‘Freedom No Go Die’ on the Do Right label and garnered extensive support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Dom Servini. It’s one of those rare albums where every track is a winner and there’s no filler material whatsoever.
