After setting aside the saxophone, his signature instrument, Shabaka releases his first full - length solo album. Building on the meditative 2022 EP Afrikan Culture, his new album Perceive its beauty, Acknowledge its Grace offers a moving instrumental musical suite.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle gently onto the record. You can sit back and let the music play through your speakers. Make sure your turntable is on a stable surface to avoid any vibrations that might affect the sound quality. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest. To keep the record in good condition, always handle it by the edges to prevent fingerprints on the playing surface. Clean the vinyl regularly with a soft, anti - static brush. Store the LP in its sleeve when not in use, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
