CHROMES 001LP
|
Brainchild of British-Egyptian historian Hannah Elsisi (NYU AD, Cambridge), Chromesthesia -- aptly named "the color of sound" -- tracks Afro-diasporic rhythms from the Whole Mangrove World. Featuring a veritable avengers team of everyone's favorite producer: Sho Madjozi, Asher Gamedze, Nick León, Deena Abdelwahed, Kelman Duran, GAIKA, Lord Tusk, Covco, Julmud, LYZZA, Maurice Louca, Baby Cocada, 3Phaz, LAFAWNDAH, Double Zuksh, Lamin Fofana, and DJ Babatr. In its first of more-to-come iterations, Chromesthesia launches its inaugural compilation mapping centuries of movement, resistance, and creolite as they have been inscribed in sound. From Rio to Cairo, Miami to Kampala -- Chromesthesia probes the audiopolitics of diaspora, tracking soundscapes of errantry and migration along 20 sites of what Elsisi calls The Whole Mangrove World. This compilation comes on transparent orange vinyl, adorned in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner featuring the original artwork Woven Chronicle.
