With \u003ci\u003eManifestation\u003c\/i\u003e Boddhi Satva brings to a close a trilogy of long players. Following 2012’s \u003ci\u003eInvocation\u003c\/i\u003e and 2016’s \u003ci\u003eTransition\u003c\/i\u003e, this new opus completes its first cycle of Ancestral Soul. This most conceptual of Afro House's producers offers an ode to lovers of the genre with a project that is both easy-listening and club-ready, with more urban sounds (R’n’B, Soul, Trap, Amapiano) intertwined with the frantic rhythms of large African cities such as Bamako, Dakar or Nairobi. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the making of the album, Boddhi Satva has once again surrounded himself with artistic friends, each as talented as the next, joined by a shared need for music and magic in these dark times of global pandemic. Boddhi Satva has thus multiplied his already-prolific number of collaborators to almost thirty on this album. On this concept project Boddhi Satva set out to break the rules by showcasing atypical voices that will send listeners on a journey from the United States through South Africa, East and Central Africa as well as many European countries. Once an Afro House ‘enfant terrible’, it turns out Satva grew up to be a respectable boss, patiently mentoring new generations of producers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50476516311371,"sku":"1157573","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0c447163-1a8f-4b35-9065-6334670b8904_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727460522"},{"product_id":"18-1","title":"18","description":"\u003cp\u003ePioneering African artist, founder of Offering Recordings and father of Ancestral Soul, Boddhi Satva returns to BBE with retrospective double album\u003ci\u003e 18\u003c\/i\u003e, charting nearly two decades of groundbreaking music production.

This double LP unites standout tracks from his critically celebrated albums Manifestation and In Spite of Everything, celebrating both his sonic evolution and unwavering dedication to soulful, deeply rooted Afro-electronic music. Manifestation was notably acknowledged by the Grammys in the year of its release, successfully entering into competition in the Best Alternative Music Album category—marking a milestone not only for Boddhi but for Afro-electronic music globally. More than a collection of music, Manifest Everything is a deeply personal project. It is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Boddhi’s late mother, whose passing in 2022 profoundly influenced the emotional core of this work. Her resilience, creativity, and indomitable spirit continue to guide his artistic journey, infusing this project with heart and depth. Adding to the significance, Boddhi Satva has been formally honored by the New York State Senate and the United States Congress, with a Legislative Resolution recognizing his exceptional contributions to African and global culture through music. Curated as an immersive listening experience, Manifest Everything captures the emotional and spiritual intensity that defines Boddhi’s sound. From intimate melodies to powerful, club-ready anthems, this is a journey through resilience, cultural pride, and musical mastery. The gatefold edition features exclusive liner notes, personally written by Boddhi, offering intimate insights into the creative process and personal stories behind the music. Complementing the narrative, the artwork draws inspiration from the legendary Jean-Michel Basquiat—one of Boddhi’s artistic heroes. Like Basquiat, Boddhi’s work is a fearless expression of culture, identity, and the human experience, captured here in both sound and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batakari","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":52306335793483,"sku":"R9691-4386","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a2113584749_16.jpg?v=1750280417"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/boddhi-satva.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
