Kamasi Washington deler ny video med cameos fra Street Fighter legender
Den banebrydende artist Kamasi Washington deler i dag sin A.G. Rojas-instruerede video til singlen 'Street Fighter Mas' taget fra albummet ”Heaven & Earth”, der udkommer på fredag den 22. juni på Young Turks / Playground Music i Norden.
Videoen inkluderer cameos fra Street Fighter legenderne Gootecks og Combofiend samt en af Washingtons egne Los Angeles-helte Kevin Gilliam aka. Battlecat.
Videoen til 'Street Fighter Mas' er inspireret af Kamasi Washingtons kærlighed til Street Fighter-videospilllet og afbilleder Washingtons eventyr gennem Los Angeles på vej til en episk kamp om mesterskabet mod Combofiend.
Om videoen fortæller instruktør A.G. Rojas:
“I love inhabiting Kamasi's world, and Street Fighter Mas was an opportunity to take a left turn and explore the surreal qualities of that world. When Kamasi told me the background of the song, how Street Fighter was a safe space for him - it took me back to the supermarket down the street from my childhood home where my brother and I would try and get in as many games before our mother was finished shopping. It was a true labor of love for everyone involved, coming from a desire to interpret the cinematic qualities of the track into something equally unpredictable, familiar, absurd, and ultimately triumphant."
Kamasi Washington kan opleves live når han gæster Haven Festival i København den 10. august 2018.
