Underground disco at its best! Richie Rome, after the great success with Ritchie Family, had the possibility to release his creativity realizing this afro disco album.

"Grass" keeps some peculiar sounds of the previous Rome records (Latin and oriental influences), "Pigmy" was a hit in the clubs with the right attitude, but you have to listen to the non-stop side B... a fantastic afro trip which hits your stomach thanks to the percussion arrangements and the sensual vocals Tom Hill and Brenda Hill.
