Spiritmuse唱片公司很荣幸推出由作曲家兼多乐器演奏家安吉尔·巴特·达维德和跨领域艺术家兼音乐家奈玛·奈费尔塔里（又名卡尔松）创作的新专辑《纳布塔普拉亚之旅》，该专辑于2025年5月2日发行。这张唱片是对记忆、神话和祖先科学的有力沉思，其灵感深深来源于位于努比亚偏远沙漠中的古老占星石阵纳布塔普拉亚。
《纳布塔普拉亚之旅》基于两位因音乐、研究和姐妹情谊而结缘的艺术家之间共同的探索，是一次穿越神圣时空的声音之旅。达维德和奈玛因共同的精神和创作理念而相遇，她们共同创作、演奏并制作了这张专辑——在达维德位于芝加哥的工作室和奈玛在瑞典塔加普校舍（唐·切里和莫基·切里的家）的家中录制。额外的部分在伊利斯特克艺术中心（芝加哥）和共同迷宫（卡希尔·埃尔扎巴尔的家）录制，将与社区、传承和声音的紧密联系当作一种仪式。
二人融合了自由爵士、空灵的电子乐、祖传乐器和故事叙述，她们使用的乐器包括长笛、单簧管、颤音琴、卡林巴琴、陶罐、锣、口弦琴、钢琴和合成器，并叠加了如“海王星之风”和“土星环”等声音，以基于古老智慧想象未来。
“这张专辑从头到尾讲述了一个故事，”奈玛说，“是音乐中的一个神话。”
曲目列表就像一个宇宙叙事弧线：从沙漠召唤和仪式游行，到星际仪式、葬礼和解放。亮点包括唐·切里的一首罕见作品《奉至仁至慈的真主之名》，以及《葬礼：E小调弦乐四重奏》——这是奈玛已故的叔叔、大卫·奥内特·切里此前未发行的作品。这首曲子由艺术家们转录和编排，并由四位非裔、原住民及有色人种弦乐演奏者录制，其中包括一位来自芝加哥的14岁小提琴手。
这张专辑的首支单曲《春分游行》于3月20日春分时节发行——这个宇宙标志反映了这张专辑与天体循环和神圣时间的深厚联系。
《纳布塔普拉亚之旅》是一个回忆的通道，连接了过去与未来、大地与天空、可见与不可见。部分灵感来自弗吉尼亚·汉密尔顿的《人们会飞翔》：
“他们说人们会飞翔。说很久以前在非洲，一些人懂得魔法。他们会像爬上大门一样在空气中行走。他们像黑鸟一样飞过田野。黑色、闪亮的翅膀在蓝色的天空中拍打着。”
——弗吉尼亚·汉密尔顿，《人们会飞翔》
这张专辑以豪华双黑胶唱片形式呈现，采用180克黑色乙烯基材质，带对开式封套，封面原创艺术作品由内普·西杜创作，封套内页画作由卡希尔·埃尔扎巴尔绘制。一本12页的小册子深化了这个项目的档案和精神层面，其中包括内内·切里、泰伊·阿德利耶、亚当·扎诺利尼博士、伊玛尼·梅森·乔丹等人的文章和思考。
这不仅仅是一张专辑——它是一个星系。是两位艺术家对过去的深度倾听、对解放的梦想所奉献的神圣声音礼物。

Spiritmuse Records is proud to present Journey To Nabta Playa, a new album from composer and multi-instrumentalist Angel Bat Dawid and multidisciplinary artist and musician Naima Nefertari (aka Karlsson), releasing May 2, 2025. A powerful meditation on memory, mythology, and ancestral science, the record draws deep inspiration from the ancient astrological stone circle of Nabta Playa, nestled in the remote deserts of Nubia.
Journey To Nabta Playa is grounded in a shared inquiry between two artists connected by music, research, and sisterhood, and is a sonic journey through sacred time and space. Meeting through mutual spiritual and creative alignments, Dawid and Naima composed, performed and produced the album together—recorded between Dawid’s base in Chicago and Naima’s family home in Tågarp Schoolhouse , Sweden, (home of Don and Moki Cherry). Additional parts were captured at Elastic Arts (Chicago) and CoLabyrinth (home of Kahil El’Zabar), forging strong connections with community, lineage, and sound as ritual.
Blending free jazz, celestial electronics, ancestral instrumentation, and storytelling, the duo’s palette includes flute, clarinet, vibraphone, kalimba, clay pot, gong, mouth harp, piano and synths—layered with sounds like “Winds of Neptune” and “Rings of Saturn” to imagine futures grounded in ancient knowing.
“This album is a story from beginning to end,” says Naima, “a mythology in music.”
The tracklist acts as a cosmic narrative arc: from desert summoning and ritual procession, to astral ceremonies, burial, and liberation. Highlights include “Bishmillah”, a rare composition by Don Cherry, and “Burial: String Quartet in E Minor”—a previously unreleased composition by Naima’s uncle, the late David Ornette Cherry. The piece was transcribed and arranged by the artists and recorded with four BIPOC string players, including a 14-year-old violinist in Chicago.
The album’s first single, “Procession of the Equinox,” is released in alignment with the Spring Equinox on March 20th—a cosmic marker reflecting the album’s deep relationship with celestial cycles and sacred time.
A portal for remembrance, Journey To Nabta Playa connects past and future, the earth and sky, the seen and the unseen. Inspired in part by Virginia Hamilton’s The People Could Fly:
“They say the people could fly. Say that long ago in Africa, some of the people knew magic. And they would walk up on the air like climbin’ up on a gate. And they flew like blackbirds over the fields. Black, shiny wings flappin’ against the blue up there.”
— Virginia Hamilton, The People Could Fly
Presented as a deluxe 2xLP, the album arrives on 180g black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with original artwork by Nep Sidhu and inner gatefold painting by Kahil El’Zabar. A 12-page booklet deepens the project’s archival and spiritual layers, featuring essays and reflections from Neneh Cherry, Tej Adeleye, Dr. Adam Zanolini, Imani Mason Jordan, and more.
This is not just an album—it’s a constellation. A sacred sound offering from two artists listening deeply to the past, dreaming toward liberation.
“Let the journey begin...” – Angel Bat Dawid
