About the album:

"Wa-wa, Habari, Sanibonani: We greet you in the name of our justified and sacred Afrikan Ancestors.

‘Kmt’, is the first installation in a three volume, poly-rhythmic archival journey of Afrikan cultural restoration and healing by way of hst and seba. It continues from Kokoro as part of a series of Sankofa projects.

In responding to the call to ‘return to the source’, we present a ḥmwt or wisdom-craft, that is directed towards sojourning to our ancient and modern Nile River and River Valley cultural complexes. We insist on the intrinsic value of Afrikan cultures, symbols, and history, both shared and uniquely developed, throughout the continent and the diaspora. We also recognise that the Afrikan World, which extends across time, space, and geography, synchronises with the values, meditations and reflections that align with the core wisdom of an Afrikan livity in the Southern Cradle via the civilisations of Kmt and Ks.

However, due to the destruction and looting of Afrikan artefacts and the dismembering of Afrikan people and their knowledge systems, much of the values and wisdom required to develop innovative models from these ancient rubrics has been almost completely lost. However, as in the Nile Valley today, in spite of the reprehensible deeds of the wretched, nature takes care of its own, as the ancients observed in veneration. Thus, the ibis, the sankofa and the bennu bird express the return of a living wisdom through Word, Sound and Power that carries with it the imaginative and intellectual force that constructed and can construct the akhet or horizon of this time.

In giving thAnhks (thanks for life) to the ancestors which are always ahead, this archival project features more than twenty voices of Afrikan teachers and other declarations whose qualities are fit for an offering to our ancestors. This sonic libation is therefore offered to all people of Kmt, unified in wholeness with km or Blackness.

While ‘Kmt’ is rooted in the musical exploration of the fusion of the ufundi in multi-layered soundscapes and memory audial rooms which invoke the ancient remembrance and impressions of the Nile, it is also a form of rek-seba or a research exercise in Afrikan deep thought. In this Afrikan thought guided by wisdom and reflective consideration of the community, any expression or work is considered from multiple internal perspectives. By presenting ‘Kmt’ we wish to also create a work of reference and aid in the development of a theory about Afrikan music emanating out of Afrikan knowledge, history and memory, and how people’s narratives have always been bound up by the greater narratives of those who they perceive as their people.
