Awa Du E started as an experiment in making music; five musicians get in the studio with nothing prepared - no songs, tunes or ideas - and just record whatever comes to mind in three days, recording live with no overdubs. Musically, the band just freely borrowed ideas from different traditions, styles and periods, minding what is right or wrong only to their ears. It borrows a lot from west african traditions as well as ambient synth music and many other sources. That turned out to be an exciting new project that turned into a recurring event as Awa du E heads out to release their second album and record it’s third this summer. 

Combining West African music with Jazz and Funk, this album is a celebration of rhythms and grooves from around the world.
