Information
Karl Onibuje, bassist and composer, presents Orun, a jazz project that merges tradition, improvisation and contemporary jazz. The name Orun, which means "heaven" or "the spiritual realm" in Yoruba, reflects the intent of the music: to create a place for reflection, connection and movement. Orun is based on West African rhythms, jazz improvisation and subtle elements of rock and environmental folk, combining complex grooves, expressive horn lines and exploratory interactions to create a sound that is both rooted and forward-thinking. The music celebrates London's jazz scene as a vibrant crossroads of global influences, offering a meditative, immediate and vivid experience. Whether you are a jazz enthusiast or new to the genre, Orun offers a unique opportunity to explore music as a living ritual, a journey through sound that lingers long after the performance.
