Biography

Eng.

Africaine 808 (Germany) After years of exploring the boundaries of blending, mixing, and refining rhythm patterns and harmonies from around the globe, DIRK LEYERS and DJ NOMAD expressed their musical freedom in a paradox: Using an 808 drum machine to recreate and add to traditional African rhythms. Complemented live by drummer Dodo N’kishi (Mouse on Mars) and Ghanaian master percussionist Eric Owusu (Ebo Taylor Band), the duo released the album “Basar” in 2016, fusing Jazz, Gospel, African Drums, Detroit Electro Synths, Blues Guitars, fragile Trip Hop Vocals, Jungle Basslines, and House music.
