The Jo Kunnuji Experiment at Selective Live

The Jo Kunnuji Experiment is an Afro-fusion ensemble led by ethnomusicologist and

trumpeter, Joseph Kunnuji. The band fuses African and trans-continental musical

aesthetics, making its repertory rich and diverse. For instance, the Jo Kunnuji

Experiment re-interprets West African Ogu music with jazz, gospel, pop and soul

elements while drawing extensively from modern South African harmonic

sensibilities to create a transcendental style with international accessibility. The band,

brimming with African pride, thus depicts modernity tempered with deep cultural

heritage and informed by a trained appreciation. The music of the Jo Kunnuji

Experiment is best experienced live for its depth, palpable through shared spaces.
