Jembaa Groove Live on KEXP

Jembaa Groove hit the KEXP studio on October 3, 2025, laying down vibrant live takes of “Dabia” and “Namo.” Lace Cadence keeps the vibe flowing behind the mic, while Kevin Suggs (audio engineer), Fabio Buemi (audio mixer), and Julian Martlew (mastering) make sure every beat pops. A squad of cameras—Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen, Luke Knecht & Ettie Wahl—and editor Jim Beckmann captured all the action.

Fronted by Eric Owusu (vocals, percussion) and led by bassist Yannick Nolting, the band features Babatunde Agonglo on guitar, Peter Somuah on trumpet, Szabolcs Bognar on keys, and Nir Sabag on drums. Dive into more at jembaamusic.com or kexp.org—and join their YouTube channel for exclusive perks!
