‘Aida’, the first single from nine-piece afrobeat ensemble Ausecuma Beats, is a celebration of love between two people that sees no divide. The song, sung by Gambian-born Yusupha Ngum and recorded live with the band in Melbourne, speaks of a love that grows as new lessons are learned. 

Ausecuma Beats demonstrate what can happen when a group of artists come together based on an idea - in this case, the idea of place, of transplanting cultural heritage into a contemporary city. The band showcase what happens when people from the farthest flung corners of the world find themselves living shoulder to shoulder in a new environment. The result - nine unique individuals, each masters of their own craft and with their own personal histories, working together to create something that can be called their own. The band on this recording includes Bassidy Kone, Yusupha Ngum, Mohamad Camara, Boubacare Gaye, Luke Koszanki, William Larsen, Rodolfo Panga, Sonu Sangameswaren and Ed Croker. 

Ausecuma Beat will release their debut EP on November 22, 2019 ahead of performances at Melbourne Music Week and Strawberry Fields Festival later this year. 

Music in Exile is a not-for-profit initiative aimed at creating space for musicians from a refugee or migrant background living in Australia. Everything we do is done in collaboration with the artists, working together to build new audiences and share their stories.

Music in Exile, a new initiative aimed at creating space for artists working in culturally or linguistically diverse communities in Australia, have kindly asked me to contribute a remix for one of their groups, Ausecuma Beats. Ausecuma Beats is a nine strong ensemble with members from Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Cuba, Guinea and Australia with a strong focus on rhythm. I dropped in a band practise of theirs and was floored by their musical wizardry.

Here is Flirting Shadow, a River Yarra original, featured the B-side of the remix 12"
