"Now this newly remastered and reprised offering from Strut Records helps us place Branch's early genius in context. The focus is on Oneness Of Juju, where virtuoso soloing was mostly sacrificed for commercial good, though various side projects get a look-in. Heavy funk and soul jazz helped to sweeten Branch's message which never lacked for defiance ... Branch's great formula was to provide strength, hope and soulful connections through music. This ecstatic compilation shows just how often he got the chemistry right".

"Best New Reissue" - "A landmark anthology originally released in 2001 documents how James "Plunky Nkabinde" Branch and his groups connected jazz, R&B, and funk through Afrocentric rhythms and spirituality".

"Let the record show that Oneness of Juju founder James "Plunky" Branch fostered charismatic musical ambitions ... African Rhythms showcases the whole mélange in all its ragged glory. It reminds us that while Plunky Branch and his Oneness of Juju will never be household names, they deserve to stand as vivid footnotes in all sorts of locations on the musical map".
