The great, Shabaka Hutchings-led UK jazz group Sons of Kemet have shared “To Never Forget The Source,” the second single off their anticipated new album Black To The Future (due 5/14 via Impulse!).

It is the unifying factor that gives meaning both to looking backwards (in nuancing and continually adding depth of contextualization and meaning to the past) and visioning forward (in speculating and striving to realize a better future for humanity).”

It’s a riveting, kinetic song, and another very promising taste of this LP. Listen…
