• Albert Nadeau / Brother Mudada – Albert Nadeau - I Am Black
    • Albert Nadeau / Brother Mudada – Brother Mudada - Forward Ever
    • 1. Albert Nadeau - I Am Black
    • 2. Brother Mudada - Forward Ever

    These two recordings are rooted in Caribbean rhythm yet shaped by wider Black consciousness. Albert Nadeau's 'I Am Black' unfolds as a slow-burning statement driven by organ chords and a relaxed funk reggae sway, his vocal gritty and resolute. It carries pride without any extra ornamentation and lets groove and message land hard. Brother Mudada's 'Forward Ever' answers on the flipside with forward motion - a calypso anthem built from resilience and communal strength. Together, the tracks make for music as testimony and guidance while balancing social weight with warmth and accessibility. Quietly timeless, real and grounded.
