Downtown Music Presents: Jomion & the Uklos (virtual concert)

We welcome back Jomion & the Uklos, who dazzled our weekend audience last spring.  This family band from Benin creates joyful music informed by West African traditions, Caribbean sounds, and jazz.

Led by Samuel “Jomion” Gnonlonfoun, composer, arranger, singer and multi-instrumentalist who founded the internationally renowned Gangbé Brass Band, Jomion & The Uklos also features his brothers JB and Mathieu, and his daughter Rose. Currently based in Brooklyn, they have recently performed at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival, the B.B. King Blues Club and Grill, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
