For those who are familiar with Louis Moholo's "Viva la Black" from the  1990's (and who may have seen my posts of two albums by this group), I  want to point out that this is a re-incarnation in a different size and  shape, relaunched in 2004. The constant element is Louis Moholo himself.  The new elements are Keith Tippett, who contributes a fair number of  the compositions, Julie Tippetts, and the Minafric Orchestra led by the  Italian trumpeter Pino Minafra.
As Owen, a frequent and competent commentator on all things Moholo,  said, "So, it’s a different Viva la Black [...] for sure, but by no  means is it a lesser Viva la Black." listen here
