Africatown, Al

Ancestor Sounds

Presented here is a collection of landmark recordings of residents from the Africatown neighborhood in Mobile, Alabama. The project features musical accompaniment from the local community as well as ambient recordings from the factories that surround and pollute the community. Meant as an impressionistic document rather than a definitive historical narrative, all recordings were captured on-site as live, first takes.
