How do you contribute to our community through music? Our esteemed guest on this week’s show, Chen Lo, and Asante Amin, of Soul Science Lab does. They are the future of our music, whether that is Hip-Hop or Jazz. Performing at Lincoln Center, the Apollo, or Carnegie Hall, Japan, etc. they continuously lean forward.
Chen Lo and Asante Amin are Bed-Stuy-based musicians, part of a production company called Soul Science Lab that creates futuristic music that speaks to contemporary themes rooted in an African past.
In other words, and to put it more simply, they’re musicians on a mission.
“We look at Africa in terms of its influence musically,” says Amin. “We’re ‘African Futurists,’ because Africa is the future. We’re into that whole notion, and so we like to depict that musically as much as we can.”
