Aba Diop, Jason Hosier, and John Medeski come together in a powerful musical collaboration that blends deep tradition with fearless improvisation. Rooted in Aba’s griot heritage from Senegal, the sabar drum takes center stage as a voice of history, healing, and expression, met by Hosier’s intuitive, jazz-influenced style. Joined by Medeski—renowned for his work with Medeski Martin & Wood—the trio creates a cross-cultural sound grounded in both spiritual depth and spontaneity. Their shared philosophy keeps the music connected to its origins while remaining vibrant and free, resulting in a borderless, immersive experience designed to move and uplift audiences.
