Boris Gardiner – Every Nigger Is A Star

Jazzman reach for the vinyl heavens again and catch a celestial delight – an exact repress of Boris Gardiner’s legendary “Every Nigger is a Star”, the long-lost soundtrack to a near mythical Jamaican film!

Presented in its original format and with its original cover art, “Every Nigger Is A Star” is a dose of the finest conscious Jamaican music, generously laced with blaxploitation-style heavy funk. The Boris Gardiner Happening present a deep, cross-genre constellation of sounds that spans sweet reggae to soul balladry, and stretches from the magical carib-funk-jazz of “Negril”, through the gold standard funk classic “Ghetto Funk”, to the deep acoustic cut of the title track. An essential release for fans of funk, blaxploitation OSTs and reggae.
