Thanks to the deep digging Jude Rogers for hipping me to these tales of the Afro American struggle. Live field recordings of spoken, sung & rapped reminiscences from the descendents of the Clotilda - the last ship to bring enslaved people across the Atlantic to America, & some of their neighbours from the Africatown neighbourhood in Alabama are fused in blues rooted, Afrofuturistic experimental fashion with ambient recordings of the surrounding industry, ancient instruments & so much soul. A poignant oral history of bravery, resiliance & American shame.
