VA - Soul Message from Dimona (2008)Yet another amazing compilation from the Chicago based NumeroGroup. This funky excursion takes us to some unique and superb grooves from Israel!!
Following a path blazed in Belize and the Bahamas, The Numero
Group finds yet another stop on the soul diaspora tour: Dimona, Israel. Between
1975-1981, a group of American ex-pats took their native sounds of Detroit and
Chicago and intermingled them with the messages of the Black Hebrew culture. The results are a heavenly mix of spiritual soul and jazz with an undercurrent of
gospel psychedelia. Featuring the Soul Messengers, the Spirit Of Israel, Sons Of
The Kingdom, and the Tonistics, Soul Messages From Dimona is the only living
document of a thriving community at both the center and fringe of the world.
Go to there website for this gem and all of the other great compilation they have released in the last few years. These musical treasures are always packaged beautifully and filled with tons of information, always worth the price of admission.
