Shabazz Palaces, the experimental hip-hop outfit comprised of Ishmael Butler (aka Palaceer Lazaro) and Zimbabwe's Tendai 'Baba' Maraire, are embarking on an extensive European and North American tour in support of last year's Lese Majesty LP. The tour includes a Los Angeles show with TV On The Radio and some European dates with Flying Lotus. If you missed it, check out Tendai 'Baba' Maraire's recent remix of his sister's (the late Zimbabwean singer and mbira player Chiwoniso) last recorded song, released under his Chimurenga Renaissance moniker. For more from Shabazz Palaces, see their several features on fellow Seattleites THEESatisfaction's recent EarTHEE album.
