Listen "Ami Taf Ra & Kamasi Washington: Music Without Borders & Her Debut Album the Prophet & the Madman"
Episode Synopsis
The daughter of the Moroccan diaspora, Ami Taf Ra, uses music to explore layers of history, spirit and heart. 2025 sees the release of Ami’s The Prophet and the Madman on Brainfeeder. Crafted during the pandemic with producer and beloved musical collaborator and savant artist Kamasi Washington, the record is a metaphysical conversation with the Lebanese writer, philosopher and mystic, Khalil Gibran’s classic and ceaselessly yielding texts. Kamasi Washington is a composer, arranger, bandleader and saxophonist. Collaboration, and a multi-disciplinary perspective, is key to Washington’s process. It’s what keeps him creative. Washington has played with a diverse group of musicians including Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Horace Tapscott, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg,[13] George Duke, Chaka Khan and Ami Ta Fra. https://amitafra.com/https://www.kamasiwashington.com/bio/ https://www.instagram.com/amitaframusic/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
