Battlestar Kalakala emerges from hyperspace powered by the magnificent legacies of funk, soul and Afrobeat sounds. They honor the culture and history with heart-filled renditions of classics, interpretations of modern groundbreakers, and true-to-spirit originals. This collective of veteran Seattle musicians — songwriters, band leaders, soloists, and music teachers — builds moving, tightly honed arrangements that reflect the musical acumen and rich experience of their predecessors.
