“This is what resulted from the meeting of two different points of view, widely distant from one another but working towards the same purpose: Abakua Music.
On the one hand, a natural approach related to the power of orality, that of Angel, a custodian and representative of this tradition, born, raised and living within the Abakua culture.
On the other, my “European academic” approach related instead to writing, which, although far from the nature of this music, has given me the chance to get to know it and to voice my passion.”
Pasquale di Lascio
“Music is universal, it builds bridges across all distances and religious beliefs.
This is how the Bonko Enchemiya, all the way from Italy, joins our Abakua orchestra in Miami.
The Ekon is able to cross the ocean and transmit its music, no matter how far away we are, music has no borders.”
Angel Guerrero
