AFRO FUTURISTIC DREAMS
The compositions of Afro Futuristic Dreams pay homage to the present Afrofuturism Movement that has embraced the science-fiction writers Octavia Butler and Samuel R. Delany and musician Sun Ra. IDRIS ACKAMOOR ☥ THE PYRAMIDS have also been celebrated as progenitors of Afrofuturism in both lyrics and musical style. “Afro Futuristic Dreams chronicles the historic ‘times we be a’livin’, the past we be feelin,' and the future the planet is headin’ in. It is a testament to survival, unity and honesty to face our collective destiny!" - Idris Ackamoor
“Afro Futuristic Dreams is resistance music for our times, standing on the shoulders of ancestral wisdom to evoke joyful revelry and collective solidarity.”
“Listening to the 2023 episode of his multi- decade Afrofuturist odyssey, there are times when he and The Pyramids stir memories of Fela Kuti's Afrika 70 and Egypt 80 bands. At other times, it is Sun Ra's Arkestra. Next up could be an unplugged Parliament Funkadelic ."
“Afro Futuristic Dreams looks to the past while forging ahead into the unknown. "Afro Futuristic Dreams is arguably the best thing the reunited group have created."
"Past, present and future collide on cosmic jazz troupe’s best offering yet."
