Res

Res is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Da Bush Babees, Esthero, Archie Shepp, Baaba Maal and DJ Encore.

They run in the same orbit as Natanya, Amel Larrieux, Erykah Badu, Les Nubians and Jill Scott, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Baaba Maal, Archie Shepp, Jefferson Starship, Gnarls Barkley and Talib Kweli, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
