Meet the Artist

‘Kafari’ (he/him) is the alias of Cincinnati, OH born, Portland, ME based pianist, rhythm bones player and beatmaker Ahmad Muhammad. Kafari’s music synthesizes his love of ambient piano music, experimental hip-hop and acoustic percussion, and his warm, soulful sound takes inspiration from jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby, beatmaker J Dilla, and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who in a 2014 performance sparked Kafari’s interest in traditional music and the Irish rhythm bones. Through his intimate and magical live performances and through numerous mood-setting and ethereal instrumental albums, Kafari explores music-making as a balm for the spirit, inviting listeners on a journey of spiritual discovery.
