Asante is an album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded in 1970 and features performances by Tyner with Andrew White, Ted Dunbar, Buster Williams, Billy Hart, Mtume and "Songai" Sandra Smith providing vocals on two tracks. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Asante is a bit unusual for the emphasis is on group interplay rather than individual solos". The CD release adds three tracks that originally appeared on the album Cosmos (1976).
