Romare is a London-to-Paris transient crate digger, collecting dusty snippets of undead voices and antiquated rhythms. Once in his underground lab, these pieces of yesterday are chopped, spliced and reattached. This EP explores the connection between the history of African and African-American culture in the form of collage to create musical conversations between the past, present and future. Rhythms from Africa are integrated with voices from Harlem, conversations about race and identity between writers and ethnomusicologists, speeches from activists and the voices of prisoners.
