Lovecraft Country, a well meaning (though rather scattered) series on HBO offered
a fantastic segment dealing with the concept/belief of Afro Futurism in the most recent episode.
Part of it featured a short spoken word piece by Ra that fit the scene to perfection.
What a wonderful surprise!!!
The series always ends with Nina Simone's Sinnerman and has spoken word pieces in
each episode - James Baldwin, Gil Scott Heron, Janet league, Judy Garland, etc. as well as
a plethora of music encompassing some hundred years of American music.
I don't imagine so many people ever heard Sun Ra at the same time, most have no idea who
he is or what he accomplished and they never even heard a musical note from him.
It is SO in tune with Sun Ra.
Marvelous IMO.
