Ancient Astronauts
They returned to planet Earth in 2001 after traveling the musical cosmos for thousands of years. Kabanjak and Dogu — Ancient Astronauts, Cologne — make hip hop, dub reggae, and African funk collide into something completely their own. Their debut album We Are To Answer features The Pharcyde, Tippa Irie, and Azeem. This is the personal favorite album of the Antakly Projects editor, 2009.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
