Adrian Younge The American Negro 45rpm 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Powerful Music & amp; Spoken Word Project On 45rpm Double LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Adrian Younge is the next generation of soul music. A self-taught musician and recording engineer who has dedicated his life to the study of classic soul music, Younge finds himself at the center of a new soul renaissance with a vision for pushing the boundaries of the music itself. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The American Negro is an unapologetic critique, detailing the systemic and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;This project dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people, & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; says Younge. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;It should be evident that any examination of black music is an examination of the relationship between black and white America. This relationship has shaped the cultural evolution of the world and its negative roots run deep into our psyche. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Featuring various special guests performing over a deeply soulful, elaborate orchestration, The American Negro reinvents the black native tongue through this album and its attendant short film (TAN) and 4-part podcast (invisible Blackness). The American Negro - both as a collective experience and as individual expressions - is insightful, provocative and inspiring and should land at the center of our ongoing reckoning with race, racism and the writing of the next chapter of American history. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; [Younge] fills each role of a standard band plus an assortment of percussion and woodwinds, remodeling soul and groove-oriented jazz of the late '60s and early '70s with grit and elegance. That Younge is an engaging orator will not surprise anyone who has heard him talk about Swedish prog records and vintage studio gear. He addresses the audience with warmth and love throughout the album, spreading knowledge and impelling action without being excessively didactic. & lt;footer & gt; -Andy Kellman, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/gArNTlRhX28 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;45rpm & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Triple gatefold & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Postcard & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Revisionist History & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The American Negro & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Black Broadcast & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Revolutionize & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double Consciousness & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Watch The Children & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;7 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Dying On The Run & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Intransigence Of The Blind & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;James Mincey Jr. & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Disadvantaged Without A Title & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mama (You Will Make It) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Black Queen & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Margaret Garner & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Race Is A Fallacy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;15 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Light On The Horizon & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;A Symphony For Sahara & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;America Is Listening & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The March On America & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Paradox Of The Positive & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Death March & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Black Lives Matter & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol start = & quot;22 & quot; & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rotten Roses & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Jim Crow's Dance & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Patriotic Portraits & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;George Stinney Jr. & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sullen Countenance & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
