BRILLIANT! (If Gilles Peterson says that about Black Flower, so can we)
Black Flower are at the (provisional) peak of their creative powers. Having received glowing praise (from Mojo and BBC Radio 6 Music's Gilles Peterson) for the 2019 album 'Future Flora', the upcoming album 'Magma' embraces plenty of synth and organ sounds. Led by Brussels-based saxophonist/flute player/composer Nathan Daems (Echoes of Zoo, Dijf Sanders), the quintet continues to bring a vibrant, hypnotic mix of ethiojazz, afrobeat, psychedelia and oriental influences, inspired by Mulatu Astatke, Fela Kuti and diverse Western music traditions.
