about
Inspired by a trip to the Makasutu Forest, a lush green wilderness of mangrove roots rising along the swampy coast of the River Gambia. “Africa Calling” blends the mellifluous sounds of Tata Din Din Jobarteh’s kora (a 21 string lute), Ed “Preachermann” Holley’s wailing blues and brass from members of Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
