SHABAKA
Flute-led instrumental set from Shabaka Hutchings
Based in London, United Kingdom
Portable beats and loops underpin long flute melodies, with saxophone and voice folded in around them. It’s less the volcanic bandleader mode and more a compact instrumental set: airy, rhythmic, and built for patient listening rather than blowout volume.
More about SHABAKA
Shabaka Hutchings made his name through Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming, then moved into a solo language that folds jazz, electronics and spiritual writing into one frame. Of The Earth was written, produced, performed and mixed by him, and Bandcamp describes it as a step into a new instrumentalist-producer role.
