Primarily based out of Washington, D.C., Nag Champa Art ensemble is about organic sounds and textures. Fusing elements of jazz, soul, electronic, Go-Go, and African Rhythms, there always a sense of the human element, even though many compositions are conceived on a laptop. Comprised of musicians of many different disciplines, the ensemble relies on the power of improvisation, developing their unique sound through workshops and jam sessions. This practice of Shedding originates from their experience in the worlds of Avant Garde Jazz and Experimental Hip Hop. Nag Champa likes having an open conversation with music, finding common threads and themes through color and texture. The ensemble power is in its intangibility, best experienced live, in order to feel and understand the overarching sonic impact.
