Its tracks weave together Pan-African influences, including intricate polyrhythms and call-and-response patterns on \u2018Bayakhala\u2019 (\u201cthey are crying\u201d), which evoke West African musical traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Multi-instrumentalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shabakahutchings.com\">Shabaka Hutchings<\/a> contributed flute, clarinet, and production, adding textural depth. The song \u2018Ta Tom\u2019 pays tribute to legendary guitarist <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Madala_Kunene\">Madala Kunene<\/a> and incorporates <em>amagwijo<\/em>, chants historically sung by Xhosa warriors to inspire courage, blending jazz and rock within an Afrocentric framework. The album also features <em>mokorokotlo<\/em>-inspired chants from the BaSotho people and nostalgic vocalisations that bridge South Africa&#8217;s ancestral past and transitional present.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning Afro-jazz, maskandi rock, and what the band terms \u201cninja gospel,\u201d the album balances politically charged sincerity with intricate compositions. It addresses corruption and the enduring colonial legacy in South Africa, connecting contemporary struggles to a lineage of global resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The
