Soul of a Nation

‘Soul Of A Nation: Jazz Is The Teacher, Funk Is The Preacher’ is a powerful new collection of radical jazz, street funk and proto-rap made in the era of Black Power (1969-75). "This is the second ‘Soul Of A Nation’ album released by Soul Jazz Records to coincide with the exhibition ‘Soul Of A Nation - Art In The Age Of Black Power’, critically acclaimed and enormously successful when it opened at the Tate Modern in London last year (as was Soul Jazz Records’ accompanying first album ‘Soul Of A Nation: Afro-Centric Visions In The Age Of Black Power 1968- 79’). The blockbuster international exhibition is now at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, travelling to Los Angeles in 2019.

La nouvelle sortie du label Soul Jazz Records, « Soul Of A Nation », est présentée au public en conjonction avec une exposition internationale qui s'est installée à la Tate Modern et au Brooklyn Museum, respectivement à Londres et New York. L'album est représentatif de la radicalisation politique des Africains aux Etats-Unis à la fin des années 60, et notamment à la suite des assassinats de Malcom X & Martin Luther King et de la montée des très célèbres Black Panther.
