North African and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Ami Taf Ra's debut album, The Prophet and The Madman, is a transcendental sonic exploration that merges Moroccan gnawa, spiritual jazz, and gospel. Released on August 22, 2025, by the label Brainfeeder, the album was produced by renowned saxophonist Kamasi Washington, with whom she also collaborated on her first single, "How I Became a Madman".
The album is a personal and poetic reflection on duality, healing, and ancestral memory, drawing inspiration from the writings of Lebanese-American author Khalil Gibran, particularly his books The Prophet and The Madman. According to a review by Spectrum Culture, Taf Ra translates Gibran's timeless fables into a musical roadmap for navigating life, exploring weighty themes like family, friendship, and love.
