JOOLA JAZZ by IBAAKU

The meeting of electronic music, jazz and the Casamance musical tradition.

In the tradition of Touré Kunda and Xalam in their time. This new project is associated with a research approach on Jóola culture, through its music, its spirituality and its social codes.
This 10-titles project also attempts to draw a crossroads where spiritual jazz will rediscover the emerging club scene on the african continent.

Ibaaku define himself as a sonic worlds builder, he's exploring the potentials of audio through collaborative and interdisciplinary work touching fields such as fashion and performance arts.
Starting at the beginning of the 2000s on the Senegalese hip-hop scene as a rapper, producer and singer, he carried out several musical projects and joined several collectives of the Dakar alternative scene (Lz3, Iscience ,Les Petites Pierres).
