The Last Poets, Tony Allen - Africanism (2024) [Hi-Res]

The Last Poets, pioneers of revolutionary performance poetry, continue to inspire with their blend of powerful words and transformative music. Emerging in the late 1960s from Harlem, their work tackled systemic oppression and the struggles of Black identity. In 2018, members Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan revived their mission with Understand What Black Is, incorporating reggae to address modern issues like terrorism and systemic poverty. Their latest album builds on this legacy, merging their potent poetry with Afrobeat, jazz, and live instrumentalism, featuring contributions from Nigerian and UK jazz talents. The result is a timeless fusion of sound and activism, urging listeners to reflect on identity, justice, and change.
