  Artsworth Presents: Kafari

  7:00 pm25 Pine Street Ellsworth, ME 04605

  

   

  Join us for Artsworth's August Listening Room Concert presenting Kafari w/ art by Sara McDougall

   

  ‘Kafari’ is the alias of Portland, ME based pianist, electronic musician, and rhythm bonesman Ahmad Hassan Muhammad.

   

  Kafari is a passionate composer, performer, bones teacher, and street musician. Kafari’s music synthesizes his love of ambient piano music, spiritual jazz, and experimental hip-hop, with influences including Dorothy Ashby, J Dilla, Chopin, and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who in a 2014 performance sparked his obsession with the rhythm bones — an Irish percussion instrument popularized in America through blackface minstrelsy which he often distributes and teaches to his audiences.
