"Your Queen Is A Reptile" is a groundbreaking album by the British jazz ensemble Sons Of Kemet, released in CD format by the renowned label Impulse!. This record challenges traditional notions of royalty and power through its innovative blend of jazz, Afrobeat, Caribbean rhythms, and political commentary. Each track pays tribute to influential black women who have shaped history but are often overlooked. The energetic interplay between saxophone, tuba, and dual drummers creates a vibrant soundscape that pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz. Sons Of Kemet?led by acclaimed saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings?have earned international recognition for their bold musical vision and were nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize with this very album. Impulse! Records has long been synonymous with avant-garde jazz excellence since its founding in 1960s New York; it was home to legends like John Coltrane and continues to champion innovative artists today.
