Founded by Weedie Braimah & Andrea Peoples in 2008, Kreative Pandemonium is a rhythm, song, and dance ensemble dedicated to preserving culture and creating new experiences within the African Diasporas.

 

In 2012, KP decided that it would be interesting to mix African and African American styles of music to create a new sound they prefer to call Djembe Soul. Kreative Pandemonium focuses on preserving traditional West African culture as a base to bridge the gap between rhythms, songs, and dances of the African Diaspora as it relates to popular western styles of music such as, jazz, funk, hip hop, rock and roll, and gospel. Since blending the musical styles to create a unique sound, the band has gained a new fan base. Their sound has been well received on the local music scene and is quickly gaining recognition nationally and internationally. With the collaborations of guest artist as well as company members, Kreative Pandemonium is adamant about educating, entertaining, and changing the world through great music. They are truly a must-see act that is sure to leave any audience captivated, and begging for more.

 

AND WE CALL IT DJEMBE SOUL

 

Djembe Soul is Kreative Pandemonium’s artistic expression of their Afro diasporic music and dance. The Djembe Soul sound exhibits the djembe orchestra which is a West African percussion ensemble that consist of the dejembe, Sangban, Dununba, and Kenkeni, as the lead musical instrumentation. The music is a compilation of; Afro folkloric, jazz, hip hop, and blues musical stylizations presented with popular big band instruments such as; piano, bass, guitar, and horns. What makes Djembe Soul unique is the absence of a tradition drum set which is replaced by the djembe orchestra. Each drum in the orchestra is played by a single individual, making it a total of at least 4 musicians just in the drum section. A Djembe Soul band can easily have up to 15 members.
