Chicha and psychedelic Cumbia were the order of the day along a range of Afro-Peruvian rhythms at ZeyZey for Novalima with local opener Sonora Tukukuy. It was nice to see Novalima for the first time since they played globalFEST at Webster Hall in 2011. Thanks to Alison of AliaProd for the invitation, and Laura Quinlan for join me in my first visit to Miami’s Little Haiti

Great opportunity to hear the legendary Gary Bartz playing the legendary venue Bach Dancing & Dynamite... love the setting, and love Gary's sound!

A new creation being born! Mbaye Laobé and Mame Gore Loabé showing the process. Each Sabar is hand made in collaboration with this amazing team. All of my sabars are made for my concerts and albums, I don’t sell them. Each one is a work of art, they are all my family. This money inlay technique goes back to the old griots. We’re bringing it back! #africanpercussion #handmadepercussion #abadiop #sabar #yermandefamily
