Land Back! An unadulterated opening statement intoned by Saul Williams three times, as he joins Carlos Niño & Friends in sound ceremony underneath oak and black walnut trees in Coldwater Canyon Park, Los Angeles, on December 18, 2024.

The performance, which was organized by Noah Klein of Living Earth on the grounds of longstanding conservationist organization TreePeople, was the first of its kind for longtime friends and collaborators Williams and Niño. The two have been in contact since 1997 and have worked on a variety of projects together, but had never been moved to present in this way. For the occasion, Niño assembled and directed an ensemble of frequent collaborators including Nate Mercereau (Guitar Synthesizer, Live Sampling with Midi Guitar, Sample Sources), Aaron Shaw (Soprano Saxophone with Pedals, Tenor Saxophone), Andres Renteria (Bells, Congas, Egyptian Rattle Drum, Hand Drums, Percussion), Maia (Vibraphone, Voice), Francesca Heart (Computer, Conch Shell, Sound Design), and Kamasi Washington (Tenor Sax). Williams’ inspired poetics both fit seamlessly and guide clairvoyantly the electro-acoustic ecosystem created by Niño & Friends – a constellation of deep connections and intersecting linkups from complementary sound makers. There’s the dialogue between not just Niño & Williams but Niño and Renteria’s reciprocal percussions; the intergenerational woodwind counterpoint between Washington and Shaw; the hovering harmonics of Maia’s vibraphone in aerial resonance with Heart’s digital designs. Heart’s sounds also make a beautiful analogue to synth-guitarist Nate Mercereau, whose live sampling and manipulation techniques turn fleeting moments of sonic presence into musical architecture in real time. Deepening the dimensionality of this constellation, Mercereau and Niño are several years into a shared musical simpatico that has yielded dozens of powerful collaborations, making their particular interaction on this recording as spiritual and transcendent as it is subtle and implicit. And there is yet another connection to be highlighted still. Late in the set, Williams shares an extended reflection on the Dutch East India Trade Company, the indigenous Lenape people on the island of Manahatta, the origins of Wall Street, and a prayer for the end of empire as he incites an epic crescendo from the ensemble, swirling behind the twin winds of Shaw and Washington, spirited by his repeated call “I’ve seen enough.” The smoke has only begun to clear from this emotional apex as Williams passes the torch to poet Aja Monet, who arrests the atmosphere with a soft apocalyptic reading of a piece from her notebook, “The Water Is Rising.” As Monet finishes her poem and steps aside, Williams follows her foreboding words with a solemnly hopeful return – closing the ceremony with a parable about a firing squad, where one member's dilemma is a "system of belief" allowing for humanity in the heart of an oppressor.

Wide leg snatched waist band
Size: X-Large, Color: Brown Black
These pants are perfect. The material is thin but not see through. They are breathable and are truly wide leg and made well for us tall girlies. I'm 5"8 and I usually wear 16/18 pants. I have a short torso, all legs and these pants fit me perfectly. The waist band is a nice snatch for a body suit top. I'm happy.

Just order them!
Size: X-Large, Color: Brown Black
Absolutely dig these loose, lightweight, flowy cheetah print palazzo pants! I got the XL in brown/black and can't wait to wear them. They are true to size (I typically wear a 16 and have ample hips). Will pair with a more fitted tee, platform sandals a d a jean jacket. So cute and comfy!

Awesome pants.
Size: X-Large, Color: Brown Black
LOVE these pants and have gotten so many compliments. Cool and comfortable. Very wide leg - be prepared for snarky comments but WHO CARES? I say let the haters hate because clearly they are jealous of your amazing pants. The pants are very cute with a denim button down or an oversized tee and some sneakers. I am 5'9" and the pants are plenty long. Not too long to drag on the floor but right to the sole of my sneakers.

Run very big!
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
The pants are SUPER CUTE. The material is fine. My complaint is how BIG they are cut. I’m 5’5”, 165, tiny bootie, and large legs-i ordered a medium- they are so BIG, should have purchased a small but need to have them in 2 days so I will be altering them myself.
