\"shabaka\"The English saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings releases today\u00a0Wisdom of Elders<\/em>, his first album under his new band\u00a0Shabaka & the Acestors.<\/p>\n

Shabaka is very busy. This year, he was nominated for the famous Mercury Prize with his trio Comet Is Coming.<\/p>\n

In 2015 in Johannesburg, he joins up\u00a0a group of South African musicians led by trumpeter Mandla Mlangeni<\/a>\u00a0and recorded, in only one day, a very poetic album.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201c\u00a0For me, the leader of the project isn\u2019t the person who writes all the music but the one who has a vision for how certain musical elements will be combined.\u201d Shabaka Hutchings<\/h6>\n
\n

The album is what Hutchings calls Afro-futurism, with the influence of Sun Ra\u00a0strong in the mix, though the group also blends\u00a0South Africa\u2019s heritage with New Orleans inspirations.<\/p>\n
