ELEVATED ENTITY

ANCIENTS SPEAK

Description:
Listening to bassist Melvin Gibbs' Elevated Entity and their new album Ancients Speak is like walking down the street in New York and unexpectedly falling into a manhole, only to discover there is an underground music scene where the African diaspora has knocked down all barriers between genres, placing creativity on equal status with groove. After years of absorbing everything from rock to samba on the New York streets, Gibbs headed to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, working together with producer, guitarist, and experimental composer Arto Lindsay, he made hours of field recordings that became the heart of the tracks on Ancients Speak.
