BIO
"Yemanjo is the musical moniker of producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Ben Harris. Born in the cultural goldmine of California's Bay Area, Harris became enamored with the music of Latin America and Africa at a young age--an obsession that only grew when he began traveling the world in 2005. At present, Yemanjo tours and releases prolifically with his partner Irene Rosalia in a hybrid format featuring live multi-lingual vocals and instruments, playing international festivals including Envision (Costa Rica), Medicine (UK) and Wibracje (Poland).
In recent years, Yemanjo has also proved himself a remixer in high demand, putting his unique touch on tracks by Mose, Porangui, Balkan Bump, TACHES, Raio, Scott Nice and many more....and with the release of the full length album "La Misma Fuente" on Wonderwheel Recordings in 2024, the project is revealed in the full flower of its artistic promise.
The production is a crisp and warm mix of acoustic and electronic elements with Harris' live trumpet and other instruments woven throughout. From lyrical composition and vocals on the title track to features with legendary singers from Mali, Colombia and Hungary, this is cosmopolitan, tasteful beatmaking with a deep understanding and love for the cultural traditions which inspired it."
