HUMP DAY BOOGIE


Aurra was formed in 1979 and was a slave spin-off. But just like Slave, Aurra was not a group in the strict sense of the word, more like an extended family, where members from both camps collaborated freely. At one point there were about 12 members in Aurra, but some split off to form groups such at Mtume and Surface. To sum things up, Starleana Young and Curt Jones were the nucleus of the group and fronted Aurra, but backing them was an array of talented musicians and songwriters from the mighty Slave crew.

LIKE I LIKE IT-AURRA (1985)
