Shabaka & The Ancestors: We Are Sent Here By History Vinyl 2LP
"We Are Sent Here by History is a meditation on the fact of our coming extinction as a species. It is a reflection from the ruins, from the burning. A questioning of the steps to be taken in preparation for our transition individually and societally if the end is to be seen as anything but a tragic defeat. The project was formed in early 2016, leading to their debut album later that year Wisdom of Elders; a document of sessions combining Hutchings with a group of South African jazz musicians he’d long admired. His connection to the group was Mandla Mlangeni (bandleader of the Amandla Freedom Ensemble), whom he’d flown there to play with over the past few years." - Impulse!
- full-length collaboration by London saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings (Sons Of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming) with Mandla Mlangeni and a group of South African musicians
- black double vinyl pressing
- housed in gatefold sleeve
