Tumi Mogorosi - Group Theory: Black Music Documentary

Tumi Mogorosi - Group Theory: Black Music Documentary
‘New Black Music is this: Find the self, then kill it.’ - Amiri Baraka. These words speak to an essential feature and function of Black creative and improvised art – the search for the point where individual boundaries collapse into the universal ongoing flow of the music, at the moment of group creation.
The Group Theory: Black Music Documentary follows the creative process, and intentions between Tumi and the many collaborators on the album. 'The album is under my name, but the ideas aim at a decentring of the individual composer or author, and a a decentring of the idea of the “leader” – it tries to encapsulate the idea of a group effect, to go beyond the point of origin, and it refuses geo-specific narratives.’
