Shabaka - Of The Earth (Black Vinyl)

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and artist Shabaka (a.k.a Shabaka Hutchings) has released his third solo album Of The Earth, his first to be released via his own label Shabaka Records, entirely written and produced by Hutchings himself.

Of The Earth sees Shabaka return to his signature saxophone sound, alongside accomplished electronics and production, as well as traditional woodwind and percussion instruments from around the world, a combination indicative of Hutchings’ diverse talents and the overall sound on Of The Earth.

Hutchings is highly regarded for his work with The Comet Is Coming, Sons of Kemet, Shabaka and the Ancestors, and from his two most recent solo projects Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace, and Afrikan Culture. As a musician he has also worked with a wealth of prestigious artists such as Andre 3000, Floating Points, Mulatu Astatke, The Sun Ra Arkestra, Lianne La Havas, Saul Williams, and more.

Of The Earth is released on black vinyl, with an insert featuring Hutchings’ own artwork.
