This event is FREE and at the Ocean Artworks Pavilion.Biboye Onanuga is an imaginative British-born, Nigerian-Canadian drummer and composer. A recent MacEwan University Music graduate, Biboye has quickly become a key figure in the Edmonton scene through his instrumental hip-hop/jazz band Good Information and the two-year (so far) tenure of his weekly music series, New Standards.
Inspired by innovators like Ambrose Akinmusire, Jamire Williams, and Mikel Patrick Avery, Biboye uses instrumental music’s abstract, ephemeral essence to reflect life in a modern world built for speed, with a heart built for the calmer pace of human connection. Finding its voice somewhere between jazz and hip-hop, Onanuga’s quartet bends and leans into a spiritual aesthetic and submits itself to the moment. With Christopher Fraser guitar, Chad Galpin bass, and Josh Krushel keys.
