The first internationally released album from the tiny country of Djibouti. Produced by Ostinato Records it's not a compilation or a reissue but a new studio recorded album. A stunning collision of Indian Bollywood, Jamaican dub and reggae, sleek horns inspired by Harlem’s jazz era, Somali funk, and the haunting and joyous synthesizer melodies of the Red Sea by Groupe RTD, one of East Africa’s best kept secrets. Groupe RTD are actually the official band of the Djiboutian state broadcaster, Radio Television Djibouti. Released June 5, 2020.
