For a long time, I thought the goal was to fit perfectly into one box. But the truth is, the magic happens when you stop trying to choose. I didn’t choose between my cultures. I became the space where they meet, talk, and dance together. 🥁✨ For me, that space is rhythm. It’s where heritage meets the present moment. It’s the heartbeat of traditional percussion blending seamlessly with the energy of modern sounds. When I play, I’m not just making music - I’m building a bridge. I’m honoring where I come from while fully leaning into where I am right now. To anyone who has ever felt “”too this”” for one group and “”too that”” for another: you don’t need to split yourself in half to fit in. Your duality isn’t a conflict; it’s your superpower. You are the bridge. You are the space where new worlds are created. Comment FRIEND for a link to Olukumi. Video concept and direction rosaceciliamusic alexejbaglietto #yoruba #percussion #newmusic
