Jembaa Groove Live on KEXP

Jembaa Groove hit the KEXP studio on October 3, 2025, to lay down spirited live versions of “Dabia” and “Namo.” Fronted by vocalist/percussionist Eric Owusu and anchored by bandleader/bassist Yannick Nolting, the group’s lineup also featured Babatunde Agonglo on guitar, Peter Somuah on trumpet, Szabolcs Bognar on keys and Nir Sabag on drums.

Hosted by Lace Cadence and expertly captured by engineers Kevin Suggs (audio), Fabio Buemi (mixer) and Julian Martlew (mastering), the session was filmed by a five-member camera crew, edited by Jim Beckmann, and is now streaming on KEXP’s channel. Dive in at kexp.org or jembaamusic.com!
