Aba Diop and Jason Hosier’s duo project blends West African sabar rhythms and vocals with jazzy, lyrical guitar melodies in an unexpected emulsion of polyrhythmic fusion.

Aba is a master percussionist, arranger and composer born in Senegal who has played on world stages, festivals and ceremonies with diverse groups and individuals including Yo Yo Ma, John Medeski and Billy Martin, Kehinde Wiley’s Black Rock, and many more.

He met Jason, a seasoned performer from New Jersey, in 2022 when they first bonded over a mutual love of West African music.

This unusual collaboration is a conversation between tradition and modernity, between east and west, both acoustic and electric, where the listener is invited into the adventure unfolding in the songs.
