War Chant is the 2nd release from self described “Afro-pop/jazz-fusion collective,” Ajoyo. The crew is 6 members deep, and 2 of its members Jesse Fischer and Sarah Elizabeth Charles are personal favorites of mine. I began listening to this one with high expectations on the strength of my familiarity with them and left pleasantly surprised. Sarah’s vocals on standout, Somber Joy are damn near magical but Takuya Kuroda steals the show on the Afrobeat infused party starter, Assyko. Grab this one for the price of a nickel bag and get funked up!
