Dana Murray Releases New Album “Negro Manifesto” Via Ropeadope Records
Musician, producer and educator Dana Murray has released his socially conscious album Negro Manifesto via Ropeadope Records. Blending jazz, hip-hop, spoken word and more the album seeks the true roots of the system that creates and perpetuates injustice. Not a tidy story with simple answers – it’s a noisy and deep chasm of universal struggle. Negro Manifesto stands as a summary of history and a challenging artistic piece, touching on racism and sexism in the capitalist paradigm. It evokes artists from Gil-Scott Heron to Hip-Hop activists The Goats, from Coltrane to Philip Glass. Social justice movements need more than just tough stories and hopeful mantras. Dana Murray delivers for us a testimony of truth, challenge, with a call to engagement.
