Yoruba Records presents ‘Ibara: River Crossing’, the first ‘various artist’ compilation album to be released on the label run by Osunlade, the legendary artist, producer and ordained priest in the African religion of Ifa. 

The album is conceived and compiled by Osunlade and features Deep House, African Funk, Nu Soul, Jazz and Broken Beats from around the world. It features established members of the Yoruba family of artists, such as KB, Nadirah Shakoor, Santos and Djinji Brown, alongside similarly like-minded artists from around the world. This is a revelatory selection of new tracks all exclusively made for this album, including an exclusive Osunlade track ‘Acrylic Venezuela’. 

The album showcases the wide and varied sound of Yoruba, all of which can be linked together as being deep, spiritually uplifting music. Many of the artists are well known to have deep musical roots; from KB, a Soul / R’n’B superstar in South Africa to Djinji Brown, the son of spiritual jazz legend Marion Brown (who joins his son on this compilation for the track ‘Grits’), and even down to the cover artwork being designed by Master at Work Louie Vega's cousin!

As well as working with many of the artists featured on this album, Osunlade continues to remix and produce for an ever increasing range of artists that include 4 Hero, Salif Keita, Ms Dynamite, Zero 7, Cesaria Evora, Incognito, Roy Ayers, John Beltran and many more. Yoruba Records was launched by Osunlade as a means to promote many of his favourite artists and develop what he refers to as family.
