Sankofa, a progressive collective comprised of percussionist Sule Greg Wilson along with multi-instrumentalist Dom Flemons (Carolina Chocolate Drops) and singers Allison Russell (Po' Girl, Birds of Chicago) and Ndidi Onukwulu was brought together for a new exploration of their refreshing melting pot of century-old traditional string band music, jazz, folk and blues coated in the context of modern arrangement. Joining them is John Sebastian, founder of the Lovin' Spoonful, a Rock 'n Roll Hall Fame . Emboldened by a confident uptown strut, the majestic bird of Sankofa faces forward toward the enlightened to boldly fly high into the musical future.
