“We Gotta Get It (Right This Time)” ©2007 The song “We Gotta Get It (Right This Time)” is a call by MANDRILL for all people of the world to “Come together as one with a healing agenda.” It will be included on the upcoming seventeenth MANDRILL album, a highly anticipated presentation that will be filled with the Funk, R&B, Latin, Rock and World music that is the signature of this legendary group. The Panamanian born Wilson Brothers (Lou, Ric and Carlos) are the founding members of the group MANDRILL that originated in Brooklyn, New York. Subsequently joined by fourth brother, Wilfredo, they are now living in California and are featured on “We Gotta Get It (Right This Time)” on various instruments and vocals. The One Sun Lion Ra, son of Lou Wilson, offers a brilliant rap with a positive and powerful delivery. Spacey T, formerly with Fishbone and mentored by the late great Eddie Hazel of Parliament-Funkadelic fame, is a special guest on lead and bass guitars. Wendisue, background vocalist for INXS, is beautifully showcased. The participation of the Children’s Choir of The Agape International Spiritual Center highlights the need for communication with and education of our younger generation. MANDRILL has a long history (from their very first album in 1970 to the present) of humanitarian and environmental consciousness. The Group is actively involved in a campaign that focuses on the preservation of our rain forests and the plight of its namesake, the Mandrill (West African baboon), which has been classified as an endangered species. MANDRILL celebrates their partnership with Bob & Mike Davis and Soul Patrol who are dedicated to the preservation of R&B, Urban, Jazz and Blues and the health and well-being of artists and community on a global scale. (http://www.soul-patrol.com) They also support the Kobe International Harmony-Eyes Association (NPO), a 'Peace and Harmony' project that aims to overcome issues of race, politics and religion, through the efforts of all the people of the world, finding the splendor of the human spirit and it's endless possibility and potential.
