The American Negro is an unapologetic critique, detailing the systemic and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color. It should be evident that any examination of black music is an examination of the relationship between black and white America. This relationship has shaped the cultural evolution of the world and its negative roots run deep into our psyche. With an elaborate orchestral and soulful display, The American Negro re-invents the black native tongue: a politically conscious LP with a prescription to eradicate hate in America. The American Negro is the most important creative accomplishment of my life. This project dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people" Adrian Younge is a multi-instrumentalist, film composer and producer with an analog studio and record store in Los Angeles.
