The Last Poets
This is Madness
Celluloid 6108 – Re-issue LP
There was nothing even remotely like the Last Poets when the trio of New York wordsmiths (Umar Bin Hassan, Abiodun Oyewole and Jalaluddin Mansur Nuriddin) and their percussionist (Nilaja) burst on the scene in 1970. For the first time, here was an outfit that understood African chanting and free-jazz dissonance; with the accompaniment of just hand drums, the group was able to express the message of black nationalism in frenetic howls and galvanizing taunts, using images so true to the streets they could not be denied. After a period of inactivity, and spurred on by the rise of hip-hop, Bill Laswell took them into the studio to record Oh My People in 1984. The album features a group of percussionists, and the great Bernie Worrell on 3 tracks!
