1978 Original. Lucumi, Macumba, Voodoo is a classic record by the legendary pianist and bandleader, Eddie Palmieri. Released in 1978, the album is a masterful exploration of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and traditional religious music from Cuba, Brazil, and Haiti. Palmieri seamlessly blends elements of jazz, funk, and Latin music to create a unique and powerful sound that is both danceable and deeply spiritual.

The album features a range of talented musicians, including saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, trumpeter Jon Faddis, and percussionist Dom Um Romao, who bring their own distinctive styles to Palmieri's arrangements. Lucumi, Macumba, Voodoo is a deep dive in the history of Latin jazz and the rich cultural traditions of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. And the cover is one of the all time best.
