Kubanno Kickasso is 2001's long awaited studio album from Nik Turner's “Fantastic Allstars” ensemble, augmented by familiar guest percussionists. This is zoot cool jazz that begs you to dance, shaken (and occasionally stirred) with latin grooves, Afro-Cuban rave, and a healthy dose of boogie. Featuring some flash original tunes as well as several of the Allstars' own particular flavour of cherished standards, its outstanding clarity delivers all the customary sensation of their club presence. A must-have soundtrack for your next party.

Now in distribution If you previously purchased a CD-R, you can upgrade to the commercial version at no extra charge (aside from £1 return postage & packing). Please use the postal address on the Recording Policy page or download broadsheet.
