Luis Resto, a renowned musician with Latin roots and a longtime contributor to the Detroit musical landscape, injects his musical wealth into the performance through improvisations on organ and synthesizer. Lastly, rounding out the trio is Pathe Jassi, a groove master on bass known for his weighty contributions to Senegalese music, particularly in the mbalax genre, who adds the infectious polyrhythms of his Senegalese background as well as vocals.

Beyond their enticing live shows, the trio’s impact extends to the broader music scene.
