Black to the Future

by Sons of Kemet

The fourth and final album from the groundbreaking UK jazz group, 'Black to the Future' is a powerful and poignant statement. Conceived as a sonic response to the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, the album is a fiery, rhythm-driven exploration of Black identity and rage. Featuring guest appearances from poets and vocalists like Moor Mother and Angel Bat Dawid, the music is a visceral and politically charged blend of jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and grime, all driven by the band's signature tuba-and-two-drummers lineup.
