Romare is a young 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 to create the sound of tomorrow. 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. Samples of songs, speeches, interviews, field recordings and films were carefully chosen and rearranged: rhythms from Africa are integrated with voices from Harlem, conversations about race and identity between writers and ethnomusicologists are constructed, speeches from activists are conjoined with the voices of prisoners. This process of combining pre-existing material has inspired three 'Meditations on Afrocentrism' In Keeping with Black Acre’s genre dodging output, Romare’s merging of traditional rhythms of Africa with the contemporary tempos of footwork and house is a bridge between the tradition sound palette of Africa and Future dance rhythm. Support: Untold, Moxie, Fantastic Mr Fox, Jamie XX Track list: Freedom (Aspirations of a Prisoner) / The Blues (It Began In Africa) / Down The Line (It Takes A Number) / I Wanna Go (Turn Back)
