History – Bokant [VINYL]

On their third album, Bokant have plugged into the blues, tracing the genre’s roots in West Africa and the Arab world through the diaspora into the retro-modern present. These nine tracks tell – with lyrics sung mainly in Guadeloupean Creole – of outsiders and seers, memories and joy; of black history, global unity and the futility of war. Of taking time to rest, feel, love. Of the redemptive power of music – as a conduit, a change maker, a muse.
