afrobeat | electronic | polyrhythmic live percussion | esoterism experimental jazz

Based in Kampala, Aresnal Mikebe (Nyege Nyege) are a groundbreaking Ugandan ensemble who playfully dance around the fringes of of acoustic and electronic music. Arsenal was founded by Jonathan Uliel Saldanha (HHY) and is comprised of percussionists Ssentongo Moses, Dratele Epiphany and Luyambi Vincent de Paul. The combined rhythmic density, hypnotic grooves and infectious voices are coaxed into a sonic discharge directed at the body.

Danae Palaka is an Istanbul-based drummer and artist. Her drumming style blends Anatolian and Balkan rhythms with Afrobeat, UK jazz, and electronic music while her artistic vision is rooted in the belief that rhythm can serve as a bridge between tradition & present. Her debut album, Velox, released by A.F.O.M. INT, captures memories, rhythmic complexity, and sonic textures through the synergy of drum kit and analog synthesizers.
