Hola, esta es mi nueva bio. Estuve mucho tiempo con una que hice hace 5 años. En ella hablaba de mi proceso haciendo 'Marchita', mi primer álbum que en realidad es el segundo si contamos 'Lo Sagrado' con Charlie Hunter. 

Ahora mientras escribo estoy a unos meses de sacar mi nuevo disco. En estos 5 años han pasado tantas cosas que no caben en ningún lugar preciso. Cosas increíbles y cosas terribles. La vida es así, te da y te quita, pero de alguna manera se te va llenando el corazón pase lo que pase. Ahora mismo tengo 5 canas blancas (una por año desde la última vez) y el pelo muy largo. Planeo dejármelo largo por otros 5 años más, a ver qué pasa. Pasé tres años produciendo, componiendo y girando. 

Puedo decir que he sido libre y que la libertad me asusta bastante. No siempre estuve a la altura, probablemente nunca lo estaré, pero igual lo intento. Me despierto y trato de atinar a responder — “¿qué quiero hacer hoy?” — por suerte la respuesta casi siempre es “hacer canciones”. Así que continúo buscando todos los días algo que a veces encuentro y a veces no. Es divertido y por momentos es conmovedor. 

Hoy me siento feliz de que finalmente voy a comenzar a compartir estas canciones. La primera se llama “Como Un Pájaro” sale el 28 de Mayo  y la  que le sigue será “Lila Alelí”. Pronto hago una nueva bio contándoles un poquito más.

Si sigues por aquí, te mando un Abrazo ♡

AfroOankali serves ritual bass: a hypnotic blend of low end frequencies and polyrhythms which celebrates the legacy of sound system culture and the Afro-Caribbean influence in electronic music. 

From 2020 - 2023 AfroOankali was the creative director, booker and resident DJ for Emergent Bass, a Berlin based event series celebrating the Afro Diaspora influence in underground club culture. In recent years, AfroOankali had a radio show on Refuge Worldwide called Bass Incarnate which mixed somatic exercises with music that could allow listeners to meditate on Bass weight. AfroOankali lives in Amsterdam but was raised in London.

In 2021 AfroOankali started a residency with Refuge Worldwide, hosting a show called Bass Incarnate. Bass Incarnate celebrates bass music alongside embodied mindfulness practices. Each show begins with a downtempo embodiment practice, then builds up the polyrhythmic intensity before ending with some downtempo tracks to ground out.
