Album Review: Keleketla! - Keleketla!


This week for Critical Rotation I covered the new album from Keleketla! a community sound project orchestrated by the Keleketla Library and the non-profit In Place of War. It's an incredible journey through the permeable membranes of global jazz, funk, and soul in an exhibition of radical human solidarity. We all have the same needs, so why can't we work together to meet them? It's a question that the album wrestles with. The album doesn't present a definitive answer but if hopefully brings us closer to where that answer lies.
