21st Century Union March is an album by Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, a jazz band formed by percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, who is joined by saxophonist Edward Wilkerson and trombonist Joseph Bowie.

It was recorded in 1995 and released on the Swedish Silkheart label.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek describes the album as: an infectious, utterly intoxicating brew of African folk songs (complete with ritual instruments), rhythm marches, R&B honking, bop caesuras, and blues stomping that is inseparable from tradition yet extends its relevancy into a new era.The Penguin Guide to Jazz states: The team has an almost chamberish feel on 21st Century Union March.

Bowie takes a prominent soloist's role, Wilkerson seems reserved, and the music has a gentle way of unfolding, even when El'Zabar works up some thunder at his various drums.In a review for JazzTimes Willard Jenkins says: This is music not of an overly intellectual bent, it is instead so simultaneously earthy and ethereal as to conjure rich colorations and dreamscapes.
