ÌFÉ

ÌFÉ is the electronic music persona of the New Orleans-based producer and percussionist Otura Mun. According to the artist’s Bandcamp site, “ÌFÉ is a futuristic live electronic music project blending elements of Afro-Cuban folklore and Yoruban religious music with the bass driven sounds of modern day Jamaican Dancehall, Trap and Afro-Beat. The single most important electronic act in Afro-Caribbean music, ÌFÉ’s 2017 debut album IIII+IIII revolutionized the way electronic music was conceived and performed, seamlessly combining the intricacies of Afro-Caribbean percussion and song with the power of modern electronica played in real time, no DJ’s, no programming, totally freed from the grid.” IFE’s 2021 release, 0000+0000, earned accolades from The New York Times and National Public Radio.
