The five-piece band Irreversible Entanglements emerged organically, out of deep friendships, mutual admiration, and a shared activist concern. International in scope yet indebted to, influenced by, and committed to their specific communities, the band pulls zero punches and reserves no energy in intrepid live sets that proclaim revolutionary love for the people.

The Philadelphia, New York, and DC-based band is made up of five individuals whose uncompromising artistic visions have received wide acclaim: ‘Luke Stewart, the high priest on bass; Aquiles Navarro, the electric universe in human form on trumpet; Keir Neuringer, the cosmologist with the siren sound on sax; Tcheser Holmes, the griot, the myth-maker on drums; and Camae Ayewa, the Moor mother with an empyrean pen game’ (Alex Smith).

Camae Ayewa vocals/electronics, Keir Neuringer saxophone, Aquiles Navarro trumpet, Luke Stewart double bass, Tcheser Holmes drums
