The word 'xaybu' in Wolof refers to the concept in Islamic mysticism of al-Ghaib - that which is unknowable and unseeable. HPrizm (a.k.a. High Priest, legend of New York's underground hip-hop scene and a founding member of Antipop Consortium), Bandimic (one of Senegal's most distinctive young rap stars), and Lasserre are all Sufi Muslims, and that spiritual connection and sense of abandon and giving in to the unknown has been a cornerstone of the group since its inception. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a profound musical statement filled with otherworldly sonorities, intricate compositional structures, and cutting-edge improvisation that deftly explores spirituality and mysticism through the lens of experimental music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime Is The First Track\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDjibril\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLamina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGas Akap\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiminal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGagaku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoesie I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoesie II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo In\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNavigation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDual Ndoxol\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDual HP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZeraora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSouba\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime Is The First Track\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127824269697,"sku":"1566483","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Rz7jLCEfL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766723234","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1566483","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
