This marks the first album released on his newly founded label, Shabaka Records. ‘Of The Earth’ is an intensely personal work, with Shabaka himself composing, producing, performing, and mixing every track.This work organically unites the dance-oriented, rhythm-focused approach developed with Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming with the intricate, textural soundscapes pursued in recent solo works (Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace and Afrikan Culture), clearly presenting a new contour for Shabaka as an instrumentalist/producer.Beats and loops created on portable gear during tour trave
