JBabun
JBabun is a shining force of pure Latin Soul, brewed in his native Puerto Rico and seasoned in the streets of New York. Together with his 8-person backing band, The Cabasas, he makes Spanish-language funk that's seriously fresh and groovy-as-hell. The band takes elements from Nigerian Afrobeat, Nuyorican Salsa and Brazilian Tropicalia and blends them into a sound both dangerous and danceable. He is the forgotten love-child of James Brown, The Fania All-Stars, and Jorge Ben. Fathers, hold on to your daughters.

JBabun grew up in San Juan on a diet of US and Latin sounds, but his musical mission changed shape when he started digging into vintage Brazilian cuts at the East Village record shop Tropicalia in Furs. After tearing through vinyl from Tim Maia, Jorge Ben and Marcos Valle, he became a man on a mission. He studied traditional Brazilian rhythms and eventually began to compose songs in Spanish around them. The result is something that, somehow, hasn't quite been done before: a translation of golden-era Brazilian pop to New York's growing retro-soul and Latin alternative scenes.
With a massive horn section and one of the baddest rhythm sections around in planet Brooklyn, JBabun and the Cabasas delivers a party so deep, you might not be able to return!!! -

Mobius Collective
The word Mobius comes from the term " Möbius strip" which is a one-edged, one-sided object with no beginning or end. This spatial concept best describes the mission of the collective – with an infinite boundary we explore many genres as they relate to our musical experience and ancestors.

The Mobius Collective is a group of musicians/producers that exist both in NYC & PR, with members originating from both areas as well as a continuously expanding network of international artist. Brooklyn based Saxophonist Troy Simms founded the collective in 02′ during a residency at Enlaces Cafe in Viejo San Juan & has since continued to develop the concepts expansion into new realms.
The music is always reflective of the members participating as the NYC Collective has a Jazz, Afro-beat, Hip-Hop, DUB emphasis. The PR collective has more of a Afro-Latin Jazz, Funk, Bomba Breaks vibe.
Espacio Infinito, Infinite Space. It is our journey. It is questions and thresholds. A self-referencing, live sampling, search for the vanishing point within all of us. Mobius happens in transition. The space between one thought and the next where ideas are formless, gaining momentum through constant dialogue between each musician. Mobius is a collective sensory experience.
