Salakastar channels her ancestral spirit “Majorelle” to expand the African-American tradition of rhythm+blues and its lineage in relation to the generational depression experienced by descendants of the survivors of the Middle Passage and the souls that still exist in the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. She extends the healing quality of the color blue as it relates to the 5th chakra at the throat associated with Truth, voice, communication, and purification.

Produced by Poetic Societies and recorded at the Feeder Loft in Detroit, “ALL BLUE: PART ONE (MAJORELLE!)” or “AB: P1(M!)” is an experimental R+B album with a series of real-time telematic performances by Salakastar in collaboration with Poetic Societies, featuring artists in Detroit and Tehran. It consists of poetic healing rituals in the form of vibrant sounds, visuals, and mantras in English, Persian, and French. The project is a response to the urgent needs of distant people of color for recording and sharing untold narratives of self, land, and belonging.

Salakastar has been working on this project for the past three years as a healing mechanism for herself and her immediate community. Her intention is to use her experience of healing trauma as a Black woman to create an experience where self-healing can take place. In the wake of a global pandemic and the biggest civil rights movement in modern history, we are faced with the largest spiritual and mental health crisis on a mass scale. She hopes to reach a global audience to create a healing practice through music, poetry, magic, and color (outside of the context of race) on a mass scale.
