When Auntie Breya Johnson said "I want the next face of empire not to be a black woman," and Ancestor Zora Neale Hurston mused "All my skinfolk ain't kinfolk," THIS is what they meant. Many of our sisters and self-proclaimed feminists are turning their faces away from the freedom struggle and decolonization efforts of our world to fulfill a false dream of empire built on apartheid and antiblack violence.

The Shaolin Afronauts - Dust / Salt Flat Muscle - Afrobeat from Australia, one of two advance singles from their forthcoming 5 LP set (all new!) The Fundamental Nature of Being

The mysterious afro-­soul of The Shaolin Afronauts first echoed across the dance floors of Australia in early 2008, captivating audiences with a highly evolved and unique approach to avant-garde soul music matched with an improvisational pedigree that immediately setthem apart from their peers. In the almost fifteen years since the ensemble's debut they have released three albums on Freestyle Records and toured across Australia and around the world. After an extended hiatus punctuated by rare live performances, The Shaolin Afronauts return with The Fundamental Nature of Being, an epic five album release that expands the sonic vision of the ensemble to towering new heights of burning afro-funk alongside esoteric and ethereal new sonic excursions. This expanded musical journey further explores the wide spectrum of the band's musical identity – with each of the five parts designed as both standalone records, while also offering a singular listening journey across the band's expansive musical world. The 5-part project was recorded over just five days, drawing upon the band's rich influence of 1970s West and South African music, jazz, psych-rock & soul, while also exploring the transatlantic sonic intersection between the 1960s electronic avant-garde & spiritual jazz. Free and partially directed improvisation is employed as a central component of the compositions, with the musical works acting as frameworks for the collective musical enterprise that has developed over the ensemble's near fifteen years together. The vast project is available as a strictly limited 5 LP box-set, with a deluxe booklet of extended liner notes, due for release September 16th 2022. Each individual album also being made available for singular purchase, and on CD & digital formats, over the month following. The Fundamental Nature of Being firmly re-establishes Shaolin Afronauts as one of the most interesting and innovative collectives of creative improvising musicians operating in the world today.

Words like "peace" and "law and order" are often color-coded, class based covers to perpetuate state sanctioned violence that legitimizes white intimidation and vigilante terror tactics at the hands of individual segregationists . . . and their drunk cousins.

You don't have to participate in Black rebellion or self-preservation among communities of color, but don't conflate peace with non-violence.

❌️ Peace is often segregated.

🖤 Non-violence does not omit self defense.

❌️ Peace is not rooted in equity or accountability.

🖤 Non-violence does not disregard pained rebellion.

❌️ Peace is often punitive.

🖤 Non-violence does not punish but preserves, redistributes, and restores.

❌️ Without justice there is no true peace.
