Ase Ashe Drummers
Drumming events build community connections. Cultural exchange drives individuals to feel a sense of belonging and a connection with themselves. Public, accessible events like these Rhythm at the Refresh are the roots for building relationships, establishing comrade that flourishes with community growth. Vibrations are the catalyst which brings people together.
Sal and the Gigs
Saliou and The Gigs is a Alternative Rock/Soul band formed by Saliou M’boup. Mixing Traditional West African musical philosophy with modern rock n roll instruments brings a fresh sound and electric energy to each show. Lead singer and primary songwriter Saliou M’Boup started this project in 2019 by contacting artists he has played with in various bands and events, to craft a new live experience with them. Since then the music has grown to represent the duality of Saliou’s life and musical taste as a first generation African American artist.
