There's a strong case to be made for Ra being one of the founders of the Afrofuturism movement, at least when it comes to music. Along with George Clinton and the P-Funk gang, whose music gives off a similar vibe.

Knoel Scott is currently leading the Arkestra, though Marshall Allen is still involved but not making the longer road trips.
