Sonic Interventions, the diaspora-futurist, spiritual jazz collective born from the thriving, international Berlin Jazz scene, is set to release their debut album ‘Do You Remember?’ on November 22, 2024.With members from five continents, the album weaves together spiritual jazz, poetry, groove and their distinct improvisational approach into a genre bending journey that encapsulates the band’s ethos of creativity, community, and resilience in the face of a world turned upside down. Sonic Interventions, featuring top-tier artists from South Africa, Mali, Algeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, the Congo, Morocco, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Peru, France, Germany, Hungary, Australia and the US, chose their name to reflect the collective's belief in the transformative power and act of creating sound. The constellation of musicians and dancers has performed alongside elders such as the Sun Ra Arkestra, Tony Allen, Susana Baca, Ebo Taylor, Shahzad Ismaily, Angel Bat Dawid, Maryam Saleh and more. For Sonic, music is much more than entertainment; it is a means of intervening in a crisis-ridden present to engage and connect with something deeper, whether it be the memory of ancestors, the struggles of the current times, or the hopes for a better future.
