Three years in the making, Netflix's Yasuke is a six-episode anime series created by Bronx-bred and Japan-based television animation creator, producer, and director LeSean Thomas and starring actor/executive producer LaKeith Stanfield as the voice of the title character. A dream project for the producer, Flying Lotus consulted on the story, working alongside renowned anime creators Studio MAPPA as an executive producer on the project. The skillset of the Grammy Award winning producer is on complete display on the album, hybridizing synth melodies, bass lines and machine generated drum patterns while exploring new sonic territory - traditional Japanese percussion instruments like the taiko and hy?shigi and west African percussion - a nod to the Afro-Japanese, feudal yet futuristic world Yasuke inhabits.
