Joss Jaffe Album Release w/ Special Guest Silvia Nakkach

Joss Jaffe’s music is rooted in his desire to unite people through spirit, love, joy, community and consciousness. Joss creates innovative songs that bring international artists from different cultures and languages into a nexus where
new music is discovered. His music invites the audience into a space of spontaneous joy.

Joss’ earliest memories include mantra chanting, listening to 60’s-70’s era vinyl records, and experiencing the sounds of the world through travel. By age 9 he could play guitar and began writing and producing his own songs. Drawn in by the music of India, at 16 he studied tabla, sarode, and vocal music from Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri. His studies with them continued for the next 10 years.

Today, Joss continues to share his gifts with the world through his albums and live performances. He has toured throughout multiple continents, bringing his world fusion music to an international audience. Joss’ work as a producer and composer has been critically acclaimed by LA Yoga Magazine, the UK’s Om Magazine, and other prominent publications.

Dub Mantra Sangha is the latest release from Bay Area musician, producer and intercultural collaborator Joss Jaffe. Dub Mantra Sangha creates a previously unseen nexus for cultural fusion, all to the backdrop of hypnotic beats and pulsing basslines that comprise Dub Reggae rhythms.

DUB: Dub Mantra Sangha unfolds in a dynamic way with each song offering an innovative perspective on Dub, moving through deep and meditative tracks to high energy beats similar to African High Life with sounds of Kora (African Harp), world percussion and stirring horn arrangements.

MANTRA: Each song creates a bed for a different Mantra (a sacred word or sound that is believed to have a special or spiritual power) to develop and infuse the music with uplifting and healing energy.

SANGHA: Sangha is Sanskrit for community and Dub Mantra Sangha is a magnificent manifestation of an intercontinental musical community. Award winning musicians, representing five languages and three continents, have come together, collaborating their exceptional voices, musicianship, and instruments to create an innovative community world music sound, that is powerful, creative, spontaneous, and unique.
