Prophet

Collaborating with an established cumbia band feels surprising, but not shocking, as a new twist in Chuck Prophet's music. For nearly forty years, since joining Green On Red for Gas Food Lodging (1985), Prophet has combined blues, rock, country, and even R&B influences into a swirl that since the mid-'90s, has come to be known as Americana. While South and Central American influences like cumbia would be a natural extension for such a genre-crossing artist, especially one who both grew up in and started his career in southern California, they had not informed his music before Wake the Dead.

What happens when a Prophet meets a Prophet? The answer lies within these grooves.
Amongst the hundreds of recordings issued by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, under their various guises, the majority were recorded in concert or in makeshift studios such as their early 1960s set-up at NYC's Choreographer's Workshop. Beyond those, roughly 22 albums were recorded at Variety Recording Studio in New York's Times Square. However, on August 25, 1986, Sun Ra and cohorts entered Mission Control, a state-of-the-art 24-track studio north of Boston, which was teeming with electronic keyboards and otherworldly sound generators. Nestled within that arsenal was a brand-new digital ultra keyboard — the Prophet VS ("Vector Synthesizer").
