Kafari is the alias of Cincinnati-born, Portland, Maine-based pianist and multi-instrumentalist Ahmad Muhammad. His warm, soulful sound synthesizes his love of ambient piano music, spiritual jazz, experimental hip-hop and dreamlike electronic textures.
Crazy Déjà Vu brings to you NEW FREAKOUT from Portland, Maine to make you shake and convulse. Analog visuals with demented songs featuring live and electronic drums, funky bass, skewed samples, unhinged guitar, and dual frontman lovers.
