Streetwear by fashion label / design studio ALLCAPSTUDIO. From an Instagram post by @designeverywhere_ :

Philidelphia-based streetwear brand and design studio @allcapstudio’s LUMUMBA collection.

Inspired by one of the founder’s favorite songs, “Sing With the Birds,” by Duke Lumumba, the LUMUMBA collection is a visual translation of the Ghanian trumpeter’s blend of American soul and jazz with traditional African rhythms.

At least some of the photography is by Ian Shiver.

  1. The words that Saeed Ferguson used here are taken from the lyrics of “Sing with the Birds”, the opening track from Lumumba’s self-titled album released in 1974:

    Open your eyes
    Look into the skies
    Let a song man tell you how it is to live
    Life is peace
    Life is love
    Stop talking about peace
    Make peace
    Stop talking about love
    Make love

    All through history truthful men are shot, chased out, imprisoned, crucified, hanged, ridiculed
    What is it? […]

    Sing with the birds
    Peace to you all
    I wish you love
    I wish you peace
