INFLUENCE. These artists merge cultures and genres with a tenacity and love unimaginable to those outside of their experiences. Libyan reggae from a grieving Palestinian, Sudanese jazz nearly lost to history, US & UK afro-jazz-funk fusions and free jazz- spoken word, richer and deeper than their categorisations…Kamal Keila. Girma Bèyènè. Gil Scott-Heron. Poets of Rhythm. Sons of Kemet. Nikki Giovanni. Moor Mother. Each endeavour is research, reflection and storytelling guided by the archivists and revivalists of our time (thank you Habibi Funk). Free Marwan Barghouti. Rest in power Michael Parenti.

[Let it be known I hate the term 'World music' this categorisation on this platform is purely for convenience and lack of choice]
