Laraaji meets La Ras_ G [audio]
A remix of material from Laraaji’s Bring On The Sun album by LA hip-hop producer Ras G.
Laraaji is a musician, mystic and laughter meditation practitioner based in New York City. He began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, improvising trance-inducing jams on a modified autoharp processed through various electronic effects. Brian Eno saw him playing one night in Washington Square Park and invited him to record an album for his seminal Ambient series (Ambient 3: Day Of Radiance, released 1980). Laraaji went on to release a prolific series of albums for a wide variety of labels, many of which he recorded himself at home and sold as cassettes during his street performances.
Ras G (Brainfeeder/Ninja Tune) explores space and time through his ancient/futuristic music. Dusty, ethereal and bugged out, the Crate Creator’s beats bring the past to the future.
