about

BLACKS IN BLACKERFACE

We are Sekhmet RISING.

Cher Jey: concept, intuitive composition, words, vocals, cover art.
"It is imperative to bring to life a statement of truth to address spiritual materialists, charlatans and thieves who
misrepresent themselves and exploit their own people for personal gain. This is a meditation, prayer, a challenge and a warning. Time's up. We are in need of deep healing and cleansing. There is too much pain. The spell is deep and wide. May this inspired living piece seep into your consciousness. Sit with it. There is work to do. Healing, balance and light. Ase!"

Jamal Moore: bamboo flute, Fulani flute, C and alto flute, piccolo, tenor sax, gongs, bells, percussion.
"In the beginning was sound and sound is the creation of our existence. Tones, frequency and vibration are universal healing forces. It is with this we move in the light of honoring our ancestors to receive and transmit the message of time in the now and hereafter."

Nik Francis: drums, cymbals, gong, modified clarinet, recording & mixing
"This music is a catalyst; a channel tuned to our ancestors' songs . Our message is timeless: recognize the true value of cultural inheritance!"

Bashi Rose: drum kit, bells
"Music has and continues to be a direct link between the spirit and physical world; a visceral source of healing, discovery and rebellion. This current historical moment demands a re-connection to our unapologetic freedom/love fighting ancestors...Sekhmet Rises!"

lyrics

Blacks in Blackerface
Blacks in Blackerface
The way to be African without responsibility
The misinformed misinform
Get paid to be new age slaves
Be careful what you sign
That dotted line ain't benign
Take heed of all the signs
You ignore to fake free
Our ancestors are angry
The Great Mothers will wipe us clean
Blacks in Blackerface
Blacks in Blackerface
Mixing our sacredness with sacrilege
