Irreversible Entanglements is a transformative collective known for their fusion of free jazz, poetry, and socio-political awareness. Born out of a protest workshop in 2015, the group features poet Camae Ayewa (a.k.a. Moor Mother), trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, bassist Luke Stewart, and drummer Tcheser Holmes. Their music serves as a rousing soundtrack to activism and empowerment, tackling themes such as resistance, black liberation, and social justice. Through their improvisational prowess and fiery spoken word performances, they communicate both the hardships and the aspirations of the marginalized.

The band's discography, which among others includes the assertive "No Más" and the evocative "Homeless/Global," is characterized by a relentless energy and a deliberate intent to provoke thought and action. Albums like "Who Sent You?" and "Open the Gates" exhibit the ensemble's ability to blend the visceral power of poetry with the uninhibited nature of their improvisations, creating a sound that is both raw and meticulously crafted. Irreversible Entanglements have quickly become a force within the avant-garde music scene, with performances and recordings that are as much a call to arms as they are a profound artistic statement.
