Lahmacun presents - Sámánének – A Tribute by Ol Brentt

This is my rework of the Gonda Sextet's Sámánének (Shaman Song), released in 1976 on Pepita Records in Hungary.

It is my honour and great pleasure to have worked on this fantastic record, which I consider one of the best jazz releases ever. For this reason, I hope to pass this feast to my ears on to more jazz lovers.

My work presented here is an exclusive non-profit release on Bandcamp only. I respect and adhere to the conditions of the rights holders. If anybody wants to pay for the present songs or the record, I will donate this amount to alternative social and media organizations in Hungary. (Ol Brentt)
