The fourth album by Danish guitarist Pierre Dørge and his jungle orchestra band, New Jungle Orchestra, released in 1987. This album features percussionist Thomas Dyani, who was also a member of Ginger Baker's African Force, The Sunburst Band, and Incognito at various points in his career. Much like their previous works, the album incorporates a rich variety of African-rooted musical elements, performed with an uplifting and vibrant energy. It shares a musical kinship with the ethno-jazz orchestra works of the Art Ensemble of Chicago on ECM and Karl Berger’s Woodstock Workshop Orchestra, which featured Don Cherry.
