Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith's Mummer Love!

Hi everyone, Here is the description of this amazing second album in the "Perfect Vision" trilogy:

"For this body of work, Soundwalk Collective journeyed to Africa to explore the intricacies of Arthur Rimbaud’s most obscure period. After leaving France and what he deemed the ‘western stagnation’, Rimbaud found himself in Harar, Ethiopia – an epicenter of Sufism in Africa. Sufi practise focuses on the renunciation of worldly things, the purification of the soul and the mystical contemplation of God’s nature. Sufism is a mystical form of Islam, and its music is about reaching a communal ecstatic state, and once you find yourself there, you are granted access to the unknown. The Soundwalk Collective spent time with the Sufi group of Sheikh Ibrahim to record their music and chants in the shrine with the use of Audio-Technica microphones. “'You obtain connections to other levels of yourself and consciousness,'” Stephan Crasneanscki mentions of the musical process. “'This connection, like poetry, is a universal language.'"

Just lovely. Just so deep and funky and lovely.
