Lalibela

by The Pyramids

Lalibela cover art

The debut album from the influential Afro-centric spiritual jazz collective, The Pyramids. Recorded after the band's formative journey through Africa, 'Lalibela' is a deep and hypnotic exploration of African rhythms, group chants, and free improvisation. It's a key document of the independent Black Arts Movement on the West Coast, a powerful statement of cultural identity and spiritual exploration that blends the cosmic jazz of Sun Ra with a raw, earthy, and ritualistic energy.
