Afro-jazz legends Plunky & Oneness of Juju return to the international stage with Made Through Ritual, their first internationally released album in over 30 years. Issued by the acclaimed Strut label, this landmark record brings together Oneness bandleader Plunky Branch, his son Jamiah Branch, and Jamal Gray — son of Black Fire founder — in a powerful cross-generational collaboration rooted in Richmond, Virginia.
Made Through Ritual is a deeply intentional work, blending sampling, live improvisation, and multi-track recording into what Plunky describes as "a ritualistic expression of creativity and transformation." From the meditative opening soul chant "Share This Love" to the powerful closing piece "Children of the Drum" — which celebrates Black culture and legacy through the poetry of Roscoe Burnem — the album is a rich and cohesive journey through jazz, spirit, and sound.
