about

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS ALBUM WILL BE DONATED TO THE "Black Lives Matter Global Network"! secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019

This album was created from the live performance on 4/27/19 of the Interference Series' annual Sun Ra Celebration AKA Sun Ra Earthly Arrival Party that the organization curates every spring in Flagstaff, AZ.

With all the work going on in this moment, we felt motivated to share this with you. Pay what you can, enjoy the music, and help support social justice in art and life.

For much of his career, Sun Ra led The Arkestra, an ensemble with an ever-changing name and line-up. Born Herman “Sonny” Blount in Birmingham, Alabama, Sun Ra claimed to have come from Saturn. His playful but serious perspective on how to radically shift peoples’ consciousness in the face of racism and other oppression has been influential to generations of artists.
