I have one of their albums and have thought of mentioning them in a posting.

They are African and incorporate alot of the funky rhythms of the late
60's/early 70's. There are some really nice cuts on it. The album of
the same name was released on DECCA in 1971 (DL75285). Gook luck finding it!

P.S. The cover art is probably as famous as the group--flying elephants
with large insect wings landing in a large open marsh.
