Bio / Background
1979: Vincent Montana, Jr. lets loose his percussive roots and those of his rhythm section session mates on a production spotlighting African grooves & flavors. He sets aside his main instrument, the Vibraharp and offers up a captivating solo on the Cuica, a friction drum originally used in Africa for lion hunting. As if the spellbinding groove’s not enough, Montana adds a bit of sugar on top and intensifies the track further with a touch of haunting strings & bells. The reaction of various record companies at the time suggests “it’s too far out”.
2006: Over two decades later, Montana extracts a 24” master simply labeled “The African Track” from his archives; the time has come for his far-fetched instrumental to be heard! The “VMJ Original 1979 Track” is “AS IS” apart from minor tweaks and a touch of additional percussion, proving once again that Montana was well ahead of his time.
