Matt B continues his musical journey to Alkebulan
by editors@theworld.org (April Peavey) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6TXRC)
Alkebulan is the ancient, Indigenous name for Africa. It means "Mother of Mankind." To musician Matt B, this place helps him reconnect with his African heritage and culture, a background he knew little about as a kid in the south side of Chicago. Alkebulan II is Matt B's second album in this journey. It's up for a Grammy Award in the Best Global Music Album category this year.
