Ami Taf Ra - The Prophet and The Madman (Vinyl)
Ami Taf Ra is an LA-based artist of North African heritage who has a long held passion for musical and cultural fusion. Her latest work — The Prophet and The Madman — is a musical interpretation of the timeless writings of Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist Khalil Gibran.
Heralded for her seamless fusion of Arabic musical traditions like Moroccan gnawa with jazz and gospel, The Prophet and The Madman is beautifully cinematic and epic in scope.
Composed, produced and arranged by Ami Taf Ra and legendary saxophonist composer and frequent collaborator Kamasi Washington, the album features contributions from a stellar cast of musicians including: Ryan Porter, Miles Mosley, Brandon Coleman, Tony Austin, Cameron Graves, Ronald Bruner Jr., Allakoi Peete, Kahlil Cummings and more.
Kamasi’s musical contribution infuses a rich lineage of spiritual jazz, afrocentric philosophy, and orchestral grandiosity.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
