The band’s heavy Afro-funk sound caught the attention of producer Pierre Jaubert, leading them to become the resident session musicians at his independent Parisound studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmersed in the local influences, Ice began integrating African-inspired chants, textures, and rhythms into their distinct funk style. In 1973, the group recorded their debut album, ‘Each Man Makes His Destiny’, a psychedelic funk exploration that hinted at the evolving sound that would later define them as the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band and, eventually, Ice once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Jaubert, the album brings some powerful social commentary on claustrophobic tracks like ‘Too Little Room’ and ‘Suicide’, under-pinned by a determination to succeed despite the adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemastered by The Carvery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143579681142,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/ice.webp?v=1736791730","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/ice-lafayette-afro-rock-band-each-man-makes-his-destiny","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
