OBIA (Live 5-piece)
What is Obia? It’s the name of Afro-diasporic sorcery & spiritual practices found in parts of the West Indies. The music tells tales from the Caribbean, its people & folklore, a story of the degradation of the spirit, resilience, and re-emergence of being. In the darkest of soils, the most potent of herbs take root.
The writing began on band leader Tristan’s island home, Barbados, drawing on influences from his childhood, and Obia maps the connections between the Afro-diasporas’ shared history & musical forms. Once meeting Glasgow nu jazz scene stalwarts Norman Vilaroux, Mathew Kilner & Jakob Gueye, combined with Afro-Latin percussionist Duende, the fertile ground was set to bloom.
