Angel Bat Dawid & Naima Nefertari - Journey to Nabta Playa (DELUXE EDITION)

Journey to Nabta Playa is a remarkable collaboration between composer and vocalist Angel Bat Dawid and interdisciplinary artist Naima Nefertari (aka Karlsson). The album is a journey in sound and sisterhood rooted in the artists’ historical exploration of an ancient stone circle in Nabta Playa, a deeply sacred astronomical site in the remote deserts of ancient Nubia. Their historical research of the site acts as a point of departure for the story this album tells and embodies more than just a musical testament; it is a spiritual and sonic journey into a lesser-told piece of history. This 180g black classic 2xLP gatefold album comes with an obi and original art by multi-disciplinary artist Nep Sidhu, a painting by Kahil El’Zabar, and it contains a beautiful booklet including texts by Neneh Cherry, Imani Mason Jordan, Tej Adeleye and Dr Adam Zanolini. Recorded at Moki and Don Cherry's family home in Sweden and at cultural hotspots Elastic Arts and CoLabyrinth in Chicago, the album has just been exclusively premiered worldwide by Gilles Peterson on his BBC 6 Music show, during an in-depth live interview with Neneh Cherry and Naima Nefertari. The album consists of original compositions by Angel Bat Dawid and Naima Nefertari, together with a rare composition by the legendary Don Cherry and an unreleased composition by the brilliant, unique David Ornette Cherry.
