Collectif intercontinental dont les membres viennent des États-Unis, des Caraïbes et d'Afrique, Black Lives - from Generation to Generation puise son inspiration dans de multiples influences, telles que la musique africaine, le hip-hop, le jazz, le funk, le rock, la jungle, le blues et le jazz caribéen.

Les artistes qui composent ce nouveau projet sont connus pour leur travail et leurs collaborations avec des musiciens mondialement connus comme D'Angelo, Fela Kuti, Meshell Ndegeocello, Salif Keita, Cassandra Wilson, Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove, Erykah Badu, Steve Coleman ou encore Joe Zawinul.

Black Lives - from Generation to Generation présente sa musique comme une arme contre le fléau du racisme dont sont victimes les femmes et les hommes noires. Un combat pour l'égalité et la justice sociale à travers un projet musical d'envergure.

Un magnifique album - FIP Radio

Tous réunis pour plaider la belle cause de l'unité entre les hommes. - Nouvel Observateur

"Une mosaïque musicale contre le racisme" - France Inter

Si le rythme prend aux tripes, les paroles aussi, l'émotion se faufile ici et là et renforce d'autant plus le message de ce disque, qui reste crucial aujourd'hui. - Afrique Magazine

"Full of positivity and hope" - Morning Star

"This music speaks loudly; it brings us back to Gil Scott Heron, Archie Shepp, The Last Poets, writers such as James Baldwin, and so many more." - Glide Magazine

"Beauty upon urgency is, in many ways, the overall effect of Generation To Generation as a whole: a beautiful, urgent plea for racial equality." - Downbeat Magazine

EDITOR'S PICK - This is potent music that should continue to stand alone many years from now. Black Lives succeeds in giving voice to many of divergent origins, each sharing a universal vision of hope and harmony. - JazzTimes
