jneiro jarel: after a thousand years

Jneiro Jarel has a long career that has spanned over twenty years and seen collaborations with MF DOOM, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, BadBadNotGood, Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Kimbra and Khujo Goodie. His work is distinctive, forward thinking, diverse in its influencing forces, with a special love for Afro-Latin-Brazilian rhythms. After A Thousand Years is a perfect fit into Far Out Recordings’ catalog, collecting and organizing those life-long ‘inspirations’.

Paying homage to the longstanding musical contributions of the African diaspora, After A Thousand Years is a mesmerizing contemplation and celebration of a world where “everlasting love, peace, and harmony abound under a sovereign, divine rulership”. Impossible to fit into a genre, Jarel’s music is also almost impossible to place geographically: you can hear the swing of his native New Orleans jazz, the vibrance of Costa Rican rainforests as well as the influence of Jarel’s vast collection of Brazilian records. After A Thousand Years is available in vinyl, via Far Out Recordings.
