JON ONABOWU QUARTET

Driven by an energy that blends contemporary jazz, hip-hop, gospel and fusion, the British-Nigerian drummer and composer Jon Onabowu has established himself as one of the distinctive voices of the new London scene. Founder of the Cosmic Fusion nights at Ronnie Scott’s in London and a collaborator with artists such as Theo Croker, Venna and the Balimaya Project, he creates music driven by groove, collective listening and improvisation in motion. Alongside him, Swaéli Mbappé on bass, Toto Gil on keyboards and INSXGHT on keyboards bring this multifaceted quartet to life, where deep rhythms, electronic textures and spontaneous bursts of improvisation interplay within a single pulsating rhythm.
