Adrian Younge - The American Negro - (Gatefold LP Jacket, Postcard) - [Vinyl]

The American Negro is an unapologetic critique, detailing the systemic and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color. This project dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people. It should be evident that any examination of black music is an examination of the relationship between black and white America. This relationship has shaped the cultural evolution of the world and its negative roots run deep into our psyche. Featuring various special guests performing over a deeply soulful, elaborate orchestration, The American Negro reinvents the black native tongue through this album and it’s attendant short film (TAN) and 4-part podcast (invisible Blackness). The American Negro - both as a collective experience and as individual expressions - is insightful, provocative and inspiring and should land at the center of our ongoing reckoning with race, racism and the writing of the next chapter of American history. 1 Revisionist History 2 The American Negro 3 The Black Broadcast 4 Revolutionize 5 Double Consciousness 6 Watch The Children 7 Dying On The Run 8 Intransigence of The Blind 9 James Mincey Jr. 10 Disadvantaged Without A Title 11 Mama (You Will Make It) 12 The Black Queen 13 Margaret Garner 14 Race Is A Fallacy 15 Light On The Horizon 16 A Symphony For Sahara 17 America Is Listening 18 The March On America 19 Paradox of The Positive 20 The Death March 21 Black Lives Matter 22 Rotten Roses 23 Jim Crow's Dance 24 Patriotic Portraits 25 George Stinney Jr. 26 Sullen Countenance 1 Revisionist History 2 The American Negro 3 The Black Broadcast 4 Revolutionize 5 Double Consciousness 6 Watch The Children 7 Dying On The Run 8 Intransigence of The Blind 9 James Mincey Jr. 10 Disadvantaged Without A Title 11 Mama (You Will Make It) 12 The Black Queen 13 Margaret Garner 14 Race Is A Fallacy 15 Light On The Horizon 16 A Symphony For Sahara 17 America Is Listening 18 The March On America 19 Paradox of The Positive 20 The Death March 21 Black Lives Matter 22 Rotten Roses 23 Jim Crow's Dance 24 Patriotic Portraits 25 George Stinney Jr. 26 Sullen Countenance
