This album explores the concept of stereo modernism of the poetess Tsitsi Ella JajiI, or as she describes it: &#8220;stereo dubbing for solidarity&#8221;. The PDF booklet of writings collected by black theorists and poets provides additional context with &#8220;Amerikkka&#8217;s Bay&#8221; written and spoken by Maia Sanaa, and remixed by Brown, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The press release explains: <em>&#8220;As Black people engage with White technologies powered by fractured European ideologies, the meaning and sound of \u201csoul\u201d for African-Americans extends beyond genre classification and encapsulates a perennial situation of being considered categorically inhuman in the eyes of American governing bodies and people. Techno and its romantic qualities of Hi-Tech Soul come from a long history of endurance and adaptation to a future that is designed to systematically exploit and oppress Black bodies and lives. Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry arrives as a mobilization beyond the savage free market capitalist industrial system, and towards a future that isn\u2019t indebted to the fictive and failing socio-economic \u201cprogress\u201d imagined within the frames of White American techno-utopianism.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry<\/em> de Speaker Music, disponible chez <a href=\"https:\/\/speakermusic.bandcamp.com\/album\/black-nationalist-sonic-weaponry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Planet Mu (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\">Planet Mu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/b4c6e789-speaker-music.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker Music responds to current events in the United States by presenting Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry with a PDF booklet via the Planet Mu label.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":54017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3944],"tags":[2490,15700,820],"location":[7976],"yst_prominent_words":[15674,15672,15671,15909,8447,15905,15676,15673,8435,15906,15665,15907,15886,15878,15677,15663,15910,15904,15908,15887],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54002"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54002"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=54002"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=54002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
