EHE was formed in 1974 shortly after Sir Kahil El'Zabar graduated from Lake Forest College, with the goal “To combine concepts of African American music with its earlier roots in traditional African music, to produce new motifs and sounds true to their origins yet rmly pointed in a new artistic direction ”of enlightenment and deep listening". Half a century later and the rich, compelling, ever-evolving sound they are known for, is still going strong. Together with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble is one of the two remaining original groups active in the world today that were nurtured in the AACM( Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians).
The resulting trance-like fervor, transports one into a mind opening journey of spiritually enlightened deep listening.
