Aashid – Kosmik Gypsy (Ayo – 101884 – US – 1984)

Aashid Himons is one of those naturally radical pioneers who pop up here and there in music history. Perhaps best known today as the dreadlocked front man of the blu-reggae group Afrikan Dreamland, you can trace the wayward path of this scintillating musical innovator all the way from late 50’s doo-wop, to his 60’s r’n’b work as Little Archie (ironic since he stood over 2 meters tall), through the reggae fusions that made him an eternal cult figure and to all kinds of cosmic electronic excursions.
This Kosmik Gypsy album is an amazing blend of Reggae, Dance hall and Electronic and House music.
