A short film, directed by Angela V. Benson, from the mind of 2x GRAMMY® Nominated Artist, Matt B. Filmed across the continent of Africa in Namibia and South Africa. Matt B has returned with the sequel to his African-inspired album ‘ALKEBULAN’ (2023).
Recorded in London at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and featuring the inimitable Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, ‘ALKEBULAN II’ explores the struggles, losses, and oppression of our ancestors and how these conflicts mirror Matt’s own personal journey in his life and career in the present day.
The album offers a harmonious fusion between the rhythmic percussion of traditional African music, the soaring emotions of the orchestra, and deep, introspective narration from the art of spoken word. This musical blend takes the listener on an epic and theatrical voyage of sound and soul as Matt B unravels the layers of adversity and perseverance.
