Ami Taf Ra - The Prophet and The Madman

Brainfeeder - BF154

Black Vinyl

North African, LA-based singer-songwriter Ami Taf Ra announces her debut album, The Prophet and The Madman, arriving August 22 via Brainfeeder.

A transcendent, sonic palate cleanser that draws from Moroccan gnawa, gospel, and spiritual jazz, the album is a personal and poetic meditation on duality, healing, and ancestral memory.

Inspired by Khalil Gibran's seminal work, The Prophet, Ami Taf Ra's album was produced by legendary saxophonist composer and her frequent collaborator Kamasi Washington.

Ami Taf Ra's The Prophet and The Madman is a bold statement from a vocalist rooted in the traditions of Arabic greats like Fairuz, Umm Kulthum and Warda, yet reaching fearlessly into new sonic territory. It's an album that seeks not answers but presence-a devotion to the journey, not the destination.
