Music is the common denominator for this group of eclectic Afro-descendant musicians from Colombia and Canada. The band offers a unique musical experience with original compositions inspired by the African diaspora.
A wide range of genres including jazz, hip hop and reggae are featured in an experimental mix with African and classical instruments incorporating technology. The band creates electroacoustic collaborative arrangements of traditional music from African descendant communities in the Americas.
Kombilesa Asé will take you on a journey around the world. Diversity is reflected and celebrated in their music.
