#mandala #vinyl #souldcrusade Mandala's “Soul Crusade“ is a landmark album of Canadian psychedelic soul and rock music, released in 1968. The band was formed in Toronto in the mid-1960s and quickly gained a reputation for their high-energy live shows, blending rock, soul, and R&B influences into a unique sound. “Soul Crusade“ captures the raw energy and talent of the band, with standout tracks like “Love-itis.“ The album's grooving rhythms, soaring horns, and soulful vocals combine to create an unforgettable listening experience. What makes “Soul Crusade“ truly special, however, is the band's willingness to tackle social and political issues in their music. The album's title track is a powerful call for unity and justice, with lyrics like “We must have a soul crusade, for freedom and equality.“ This theme is echoed throughout the album. Despite its relatively low profile outside of Canada, “Soul Crusade“ remains a cult classic of 1960s rock and soul music. Its powerful message and infectious grooves continue to inspire new generations of music fans and activists alike.
