Introducing the musical journey chronicling the extraordinary relationship between the Aleem twins and Jimi Hendrix. Rooted in the vibrant streets of Harlem, this friendship flourished even as Jimi ascended to international stardom. From this unique bond emerged a profound collaboration, giving birth to a musical legacy that celebrates the enduring magic of Jimi Hendrix and the indelible mark left by the Aleem twins.

Inspired by Jimi's guidance, the twins embarked on a musical venture, contributing background vocals to Jimi's timeless classics such as "Dolly Dagger," "Freedom," "Stepping Stone," and "Izabella." In a reciprocal exchange of creative energy, Jimi showcased his progressive electric guitar skills on the twins' recording of "Mojo Man" at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

This collaboration extended beyond the confines of studio sessions; it was part of a grander plan. Jimi envisioned co-producing what he affectionately termed a "street opera" – an album that encapsulated the fusion of talents, capturing the essence of their shared musical vision.

The Aleem twins played a pivotal role in preserving Jimi Hendrix's posthumous legacy. Their voices adorned at least four albums: "Cry of Love" (1971 - Platinum), "Rainbow Bridge" (1971 - Gold), "War Heroes" (1972), and "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" (1997), as well as "People, Hell and Angels" (2013).

Their harmonies resonated on compilation albums like "Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix" (1997 - Double Platinum), "The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Purple Box Set)" (2000 - Platinum), and "Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection" (2001 - Gold). Join us on this musical odyssey as we honor the enduring friendship and collaborative spirit that defined the relationship between the Aleem twins and Jimi Hendrix.
