Meshell Ndegeocello Instagram – 🌆 The Magic City: Red Hot Ra Vol. 3 | coming April 12th 🏙 Vinyl Pre-Order open NOW on Bandcamp ⭐️
Grammy Award-winning bassist-composer-producer Meshell Ndegeocello engages in a profound conversation with the timeless work of Sun Ra. These tracks are contemporary manifestations of spirit — a true re-imagining and reconfiguration of Sun Ra’s ideas, words, and melodies. Each track is a completely new composition, creating a modern dialog with Sun Ra.
Ndegeocello, as the guiding force, works with a collective of remarkable artists like Marshall Allen of @sunraarkestraofficial, @immanuel.wilkins, @pinksiifu, @imdariusjones, @justinhicksmusic, @deantoniparks, @kojo_roney, @free.bass, @stuartbogie, @detroitmogul, @edikwon, @mindlessinertia, Jebin Bruni, and more. 🎷

As Ndegeocello beautifully articulates, “Sun Ra’s music is a living organism, and once you immerse yourself in his work, his life, you recognize there’s a fork in the road—that you really have to make choices, because there’s so many other realms and dimensions to explore musically. I want people to walk away [from listening to the album by] understanding that [life] is really of your own design.” | Posted on 15/Feb/2024 19:47:01
