“I wanted to do something that celebrates the differences that we have amongst each other,” Kamasi says. “We always look at it as a burden, but it’s really a blessing.

“Harmony of Difference is a six-song suite – the first part is five songs in a row and part six is us playing the five songs at the same time.”

By weaving together elements from one track into another, each part feels distinct but built on the same shared foundation – together they form a beautiful harmonious whole.

“You hear these pieces and like them and enjoy them as individuals, but then they come together. The sixth piece is a shared experience. I hope that the metaphor works and it makes people think about what that reality is,” Kamasi says.
