Eligh and Jo Wilkinson

Living distinctly parallel lives in American-born art forms of Folk Music and Hip Hop, respectively, Mother & Son: Jo Wilkinson and Eligh (of the California collective Living Legends) have crafted a truly groundbreaking collaborative musical experience. On Sacred Ground, is a culmination of years of toying with the idea of making an album together, a time that arrived when both Eligh and Jo came to the simultaneous realization, surprisingly without recent conversation. In addition to his signature rapidfire lyrical delivery as a Legends fan favorite, Eligh is an accomplished producer and sat at the helm for this project. This socially conscious family has been recognized by everyone from Ry Cooder to Pete Seeger and Sage Francis to MURS. In addition to the recognition of such luminaries, Jo recalls being recognized at Legends shows (also having appeared on many LL recordings as guest vocalist) with fans thanking her for “giving birth to the poet man”. On Sacred Ground includes guests: The Grouch, Slug (of Atmosphere), Jiro Yamaguchi (of Ozomatli), Pigeon John, among others.
