Kahil Elzabar

Jazz Music Live Music Concert

What’s Happening?

Since the 1970s, percussionist, drummer, composer, and bandleader Kahil El'Zabar has established himself as a prolific jazz innovator. Regarded by critics as a "renaissance man," his musical style embraces folkloric, spiritual, and musical traditions from ancient Africa that he integrates with music and culture from the modern world.

The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble was formed shortly after percussionist Kahil El'Zabar graduated from the school of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in 1973, with tenor saxophonist Edward Wilkerson, Jr. They sought to compose and play music that combined contemporary African-American musical styles, including jazz, blues, and R&B, with traditional African instrumentation and rhythms.
