Description
Release Date Friday 25th May 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day
The newly remastered edition of the 1985 LP ‘Song of the Motherland’ by Shabaka’s
father AnkAnum (formerly Anum Iyapo) will be reissued via Native Rebel Recordings.
The album was remastered by Guy Davie at Electric Mastering, and has new cover art
and design by Anum. The album will be available digitally and on vinyl on May 25th
(African Liberation Day)
Afrika Liberation Day (ALD) is observed on the 25th May. Events have historically been
held on the weekend/bank holiday surrounding this date, which makes this coming
weekend, ALD weekend.
The Album is a triumphant celebration of Afrikan-Caribbean verbal expression. The
songs combine to haunting effect, the Rastafari Nyabinghi' drumming of Jamaican and
continental Afrikan and Pan-Afrikan percussion and musical styles (even an Australian
Aborigine Didgeridoo) with his folk-roots based Afrikan Jamaican vocal style.
The result is uniquely creative in construction and style, thought- provoking, entertaining
and spiritual in content. The power of Anum I word and sound will paint mental imagery
of red, gold, green and black.
