Yesterday I wrote about jazz artist Sun Ra. Today i found a nice four part documentary about him on YouTube. Here’s Part 1:
Sun Ra makes alot of weird music. Strange jazz with cool keyboard sounds.
Maybe it’s not so strange since he’s not from Earth (at least he claims he’s from Saturn). His real name is Herman Poole Blount but he changed is name to Le Sony’r Ra and denied any connection to his birthname. Ra is the ancient egyptian god of the sun, hence the name.
Sun Ra released Nuclear War on the album with the same name in 1982.
Originally Ra was so sure the funky dance track was a hit, he immediately took it to Columbia Records, where they immediately rejected it. Why he thought a song with the repeating chant “Nuclear War, they’re talking about Nuclear War/It’s a motherf***er, don’t you know/if they push that button, your ass gotta go/and whatcha gonna do without your ass” would be a hit is another puzzle in the Sun Ra myth.

20 years later Goran Kajfes makes a tribute to Sun Ra and his song Nuclear War on his album Headspin, with Timbuktu and Chords on the vocals.
The first edition of the monthly Funk Valley Spotify Mix is here! This month’s we’re giving you a Hip Hop mix with a happy and relaxed vibe all the way through it.
