A collection of spiritual sounds and cultural recordings, the album spotlights the chief\u2019s creative capabilities and cultural roots. According to Chief Adjuah, the title track, as well as the album as a whole, are &#8220;built as a map to decolonize sound; to challenge previously held misconceptions about some cultures of music; to codify a new folkloric tradition and begin the work of creating a national set of rhythms&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The albums opener, Blood Calls Blood, begins in what could be compared to an eastern meets western dream-like melody, fusing world instruments with dissonant chords, swelling vocal harmonies, and rhythmic folk drive.&nbsp;What emerges from the start of the song is then sung with conviction as the lyrics ring, \u201cRun no more, make no way. Won\u2019t kneel down, no, to pray. Blood calls blood, make way.\u201d&nbsp; Native drums and African tribal soul guides us to the albums following song, Trouble That Mornin\u2019. In this one, strings can be heard in the mix, complementing the beauty of the song\u2019s root sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many breathtaking lyrics reads like poetry as Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah sings, \u201cJump over St. Louis Cemetery, bark out thunder roar out lightning. Kick over a tombstone, won\u2019t hum bow, but\u2019ll claim a fresh kill.\u201d&nbsp; Fans of the Mardi Gras Indians\u2019 music and culture will no doubt sing along to the record\u2019s third track \u201c Xodokan Iko &#8211; Hu Na Ney\u201d. In this rebirthed rendition, you will notice a familiar traditional New Orleans &#8216;Iko Iko&#8217; motif. A call back to the famed track Jock-a-Mo, written in 1953 by James \u201cSugar Boy\u201d Crawford, it has been interpreted down the years by many musicians, including the Dixie Cups, Warren Zevon, Dr John, and Ringo Starr. Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah, chieftain of the Xodokan Nation of the Maroon Tribes of New Orleans, incorporates indigenous instruments in this masterpiece, making use of his own &#8221;Chief&#8217;s Bow&#8221; on the album. Like this latest release, his preceding album Ancestor Recall experimented with spiritual rhythms and African sound theory, drawing heavily from African and Native American traditional sounds.&nbsp;On American Masters, a PBS documentary, Chief said his music reminds him of the blues, and that jazz and blues are synonyms of each other. Which is a nuance found in rhythmic harmonies. The chief\u2019s family influence and love can be heard in his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Ryan McKern<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
