Minha Melanina - Dom Salvador, Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad

With the powerful line, "Quando me sentir assim, minha melanina é o sol (When I feel like this my melanin is the sun)" this song is a direct tribute to Black consciousness. It highlights Dom Salvador's role in affirming and advancing the Black movement in Brazil, celebrating identity and cultural pride. Jazz Is Dead continues its journey of honoring musical legends with Dom Salvador JID024, an album that revisits and revitalizes the pioneering spirit of one of Brazil’s most influential musicians. Dom Salvador, the trailblazer who fused samba with jazz, funk, and soul in the late ’60s and early ’70s, is the cornerstone of a movement that shaped the sound of Black Brazilian music. Now, in collaboration with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, he returns to that foundation in a wholly new way. #domsalvador #adrianyounge #alishaheedmuhammad
