Their next recording project was entitled “Tenth World” which was picked up by Motema Music and produced by percussionist Babatunde Lea and Kelvin Sholar. This recording went on to be widely acclaimed and proved to be a seminal sound of the label and stands as a monument to the compositional and musicianship of the members. Included on that album were George Makinto; formerly Miriam Makeba’s musical director on flute\, piano and percussion and acclaimed percussionist Luisito Quintero who both would join the band at different intervals during their tenure. \nA second album was recorded called\, “Tenth World Live” which drew even more acclaim for the group.

The nucleus of Tenth World formed around Kelvin Sholar’s group Esoterica which was a quartet.

This recording went on to be widely acclaimed and proved to be a seminal sound of the label and stands as a monument to the compositional and musicianship of the members. Included on that album were George Makinto; formerly Miriam Makeba’s musical director on flute\, piano and percussion and acclaimed percussionist Luisito Quintero who both would join the band at different intervals during their tenure. \nA second album was recorded called\, “Tenth World Live” which drew even more acclaim for the group.
