Alkebu-Lan: Land of the Blacks - Live at the East

A landmark of independent, politically charged spiritual jazz. Recorded live at The East, a vital cultural center in Brooklyn, this album is a powerful statement of Black Nationalism and cultural identity. Led by percussionist James Mtume, the music is a deep and intense exploration of African rhythms, spiritual jazz, and the 'fire music' of the avant-garde. It's a raw, uncompromising, and essential document of the 1970s Black Arts Movement.
