Burnt Sugar Arkestra's Rebellum project started as an exercise in “radical conformity,” says conductor and guitarist, Greg Tate. The Harlem-based band challenged themselves to pack their sprawling sound into more traditional, radio-friendly tunes. What emerged was The Darknuss, a 20-track debut LP packed with what they’re calling “snarky protest songs, wry race music and romantic warrior anthems.” The name ‘Rebellum’ came after, a necessary rebrand for the band’s segue into original music.
Burnt Sugar fans needn’t worry—Rebellum is no less spontaneous or theatrical because of its creative constraints. In fact, Tate says the Rebellum show has produced a different kind of drama–a surprising new level of showmanship.
