Shabaka Hutchings, face of the new Impulse !, created in Black to the Future a manifest album, of party and of pain, of denunciation and of historical trip, important for what it says in sound and word.
PIERRICK GUIDOU
Shabaka Hutchings looks further away. He is here, now, immersed in the present, answering him every time he blows the saxophone or clarinet. He is further away, back in a timeline that goes back to the Nubian kings of ancient Egypt, which advances through colonial empires and the crimes of slavery. Back there, inventing new mythologies with Sun Ra, here closer to offering themselves to fire in the language of Jamaican toasters or to dancing in popular carnivals in Barbados.
THE PUBLIC IS YOURS. STAY WITH HIM.
