为了纪念在表演艺术领域的五十载岁月——追溯到1972年传奇乐队“金字塔”（The Pyramids）的成立——伊德里斯·阿卡穆尔自豪地在2025年唱片店日推出《艺术人生》这张专辑。这张特别的唱片收录了著名的旧金山演员、活动家兼作家丹尼·格洛弗，以及知名舞台女演员罗德萨·琼斯的作品。
2024年2月，阿卡穆尔的表演艺术公司“文化奥德赛”（Cultural Odyssey）与旧金山的著名演出场地“实验室”（The Lab）合作，在黑人历史月期间共同呈现了“地下爵士歌舞表演”（Underground Jazz Cabaret）。阿卡穆尔表示：“能与丹尼·格洛弗和罗德萨·琼斯这两位备受尊敬的艺术大家合作，是我莫大的荣幸。他们坚定不移地致力于‘将艺术作为社会行动主义的手段’，这在当下比以往任何时候都更加迫切和必要。” 这场演出汇集了伊德里斯·阿卡穆尔和他的安克斯特拉乐队（Ankhestra）的新作与经典作品，其中包括“金字塔”乐队的成员。当晚的配乐就像一条连接线，将一部歌词集编织在一起，其内容从可怕的“中途航程”（Middle Passage）的历史遗产，跨越到当代的沉思以及对未来的憧憬。
丹尼·格洛弗和罗德萨·琼斯都用他们独特的嗓音演绎了一系列有力的朗诵式音乐组诗。其中包括《科尔奶奶的故事》（Grandma Cole Story），这是一首通过一名在奴隶船上的十岁非洲女孩的视角对奴隶贸易进行的尖锐批判之作，还有《中国巷组曲》（China Lane Suite），它讲述了重建时期一位中国洗衣店老板和一名获释奴隶之间禁忌的爱情故事。格洛弗还贡献了他的原创作品《在上帝的国度》（In God’s Country），这是一首对他母亲深情的致敬之作。当晚以阿卡穆尔的最新作品《现在！》（Now!）收尾，这是对当今中东所面临危机的深刻反思。所有的叙述都由阿卡穆尔亲自创作和编排的动人配乐作为背景，由他新扩充至14人的安克斯特拉乐队演奏。
这场演出不仅是对阿卡穆尔辉煌职业生涯中一个里程碑的庆祝，也体现了艺术在解决我们这个时代紧迫社会问题方面的变革力量。

In honour of fifty years in the performing arts—dating back to the founding of the legendary band The Pyramids in 1972—Idris Ackamoor proudly presents “Artistic Being” for Record Store Day 2025. This special recording features celebrated San Francisco actor, activist, and author Danny Glover, alongside renowned stage actress Rhodessa Jones.
In February 2024 Ackamoor’s performing arts company, Cultural Odyssey, partnered with The Lab, a prominent San Francisco venue, to co-present "Underground Jazz Cabaret" during Black History Month. Ackamoor expressed: “Collaborating with Danny Glover and Rhodessa Jones, two of the most revered Artistic Beings, was a profound honour. Their unwavering dedication to ‘art as social activism’ feels more urgent and necessary than ever.” The performance brought together new and classic works from Idris Ackamoor and his Ankhestra, including members of The Pyramids. The evening’s score served as a connective thread, weaving together a libretto that spans from the haunting legacy of the Middle Passage to contemporary meditations and dreams for the future.
Both Danny Glover and Rhodessa Jones lent their distinctive voices to a series of powerful spoken-word musical tone poems. Among these were "Grandma Cole Story," a poignant indictment of the slave trade told through the eyes of a ten-year-old African girl aboard a slave ship, and "China Lane Suite," which explores a forbidden romance between a Chinese laundry owner and a freed slave during Reconstruction. Glover also contributed his original work, "In God’s Country," a moving homage to his mother. The evening concluded with Ackamoor’s latest composition, "Now!," a striking reflection on the crises facing the Middle East today. All the narratives were underscored by an evocative score composed and arranged by Ackamoor himself, performed by his newly expanded 14-piece Ankhestra.
This performance not only celebrated a milestone in Ackamoor’s illustrious career but also exemplified the transformative power of art in addressing the pressing social issues of our time.
