Product Notes
Experience the profound legacy of The Last Poets with their new release, "Africanism". Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan revisit and re-energize some of their seminal works such as "When The Revolution Comes", "Gash Man" and "Niggers Are Scared of Revolution", infusing them with fresh and potent new soundscapes. Joining the Poets are the late, great Tony Allen (Fela Kuti) - laying the album's foundations with legendary Afrobeat rhythms - Egypt 80 guitarist and bassist Akinola Adio Oyebola and Kunle Justice, jazz keyboardist Kaidi Tatham (dubbed as 'The UK's Herbie Hancock') and saxophonist Courtney Pine.
Echoes Magazine writes "Africanism" is the result of vibrant live sessions in Brooklyn and London, recorded and mixed by producer Prince Fatty. The album bridges spoken-word poetry with a bold fusion of Afrobeat and contemporary jazz, where live instruments amplify the Poets' raw and unflinching verses. Together, this stellar band of musicians completed an album that has few real predecessors and seems destined to become a cult favourite for many years to come." Expanded 2xCD features 38 tracks including the full Africanism LP, plus Vocal & Percussion, Accapella, Instrumental versions, and Percussion Edits.Credits
