Afro–desia is an album by American jazz organist Lonnie Smith recorded in 1975 and released on the Groove Merchant label.[2] [3] [4]
Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Afrodesia expands upon the soul-jazz sensibility of organist Lonnie Smith's classic Blue Note efforts, abandoning their hairpin-tight, diamond-sharp grooves in favor of more meditative, free-flowing epics that draw on elements of Latin jazz, pop, and even disco".
