Whatever spaceship Ami Taf Ra is on as we disembark this planet - GET ME ON THAT THING. Because this is going to be an astral and spiritual electronic jazz hip hop and soul delight akin to few things available on this sphere. If you're into Brainfeeder levels of fusion and experimental jazz of Impulse and Alice Coltrane with a bit of astral funk and gospel - you are gonna love this.

Ami Taf Ra is an LA-based artist of North African heritage who has a long held passion for musical and cultural fusion. Her latest work — ‘The Prophet and The Madman’ — is a musical interpretation of the timeless writings of Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist Khalil Gibran. Heralded for her seamless fusion of Arabic musical traditions like Moroccan gnawa with jazz and gospel, ‘The Prophet and The Madman’ is beautifully cinematic and epic in scope. Composed, produced and arranged by Ami Taf Ra and legendary saxophonist composer and frequent collaborator Kamasi Washington, the album features contributions from a stellar cast of musicians including: Ryan Porter, Miles Mosley, Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, Cameron Graves, Ronald Bruner Jr., Allakoi Peete, Kahlil Cummings and more. Kamasi’s musical contribution infuses a rich lineage of spiritual jazz, afrocentric philosophy, and orchestral grandiosity.
