‘Soul of a Nation: Afro-Centric Visions in the Age of Black Power’ was released in conjunction with a major worldwide art exhibition, Soul of A Nation: Art in the The Age of Black Power which takes place at the Tate Modern, London, UK and The Brooklyn Museum, New York, USA.
The album shows how the ideals of the civil rights movement, black power and Black nationalism influenced the evolvement of radical African-American music in the United States of America in the intensely political and revolutionary period at the end of the 1960s following the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, and the rise of the Black Panther party.
"Soul of A Nation" shows how political themes led to the rise of ‘conscious’ Black music as new afro-centric styles combined the musical radicalism and spirituality of avant-garde jazz music, alongside the intense funk and soul of James Brown and Aretha Franklin, and the urban poetry and proto-rap of the streets.
