The live performance by The Staples Jr. Singers is one of the few opportunities to witness a sample of spiritual music at Sala Apolo: a true family reunion of gospel soul made in Mississippi.
In 1975 the group released its first and only album, When Do We Get Paid. Nothing could be closer to reality, as it was the only question on their minds in the early days. Now, the New York label Luaka Bop, which has also worked with William Onyeabor, Floating Points and Alice Coltrane, has re-released this old treasure, whose original copy is more than desired by collectors.
More than forty years and three generations later, the original members of The Staples Jr. Singers who are still on the circuit join Caprichos de Apolo the 26th of January to perform live the tracks from that first remastered album.
