Trackvogels + CEF ASHANTA

Trackvogels

Waar opzwepende ritmes samenkomen met stuwende gitaarriffs, gelaagd met psychedelische synth texturen en diepe, pulserende bas en drums.

Ze vormen een familie achtige eenheid op het podium. Ze combineren traditionele invloeden uit verschillende delen van de wereld met een intergalactische touch. Grenzen vervagen met hypnotiserende, warme en rauwe geluiden.

Hun passie voor muziek is op meerdere manieren te zien. De leden van de groep ontwikkelden een gevoel voor verschillende muziekstijlen tijdens het reizen, studeren, graven in de kratten, het geven van feesten en studiowerk.

Ze hebben meegewerkt aan de productie van meerdere platen, samen met enkele van grootheden zoals Umoja, Pushin Wood, Kunuku, Afrogame en Jo Bissa.

Ze zijn een collectief uit Amsterdam dat gevestigd is in ADM Noord en zijn momenteel een muziekstudio aan het bouwen.

Where exhilarating rhythms meet driving guitar riffs, layered with psychedelic synth textures and deep pulsating bass and drums.

They form a family-like unity on stage. Fusing traditional influences from different parts of the globe with an intergalactic touch. Making borders disappear with hypnotising, warm & gritty sounds.

Their passion for music shows in multiple ways. Members of the group developed a feeling for various musical styles whilst travelling, studying, digging in the crates, throwing parties and doing studio work.

They’ve been part of producing multiple records alongside some of the greats like Umoja, Pushin Wood, Kunuku, Afrogame & Jo Bissa.

They’re an Amsterdam-based collective located in ADM Noord currently building a music studio

Cef Ashanta

Cef Ashanta is a boundary-pushing Afro-native artist whose music lives at the intersection of ancestral rhythm, experimental soul and storytelling. Rooted in the rich musical traditions of West Africa, his sound bridges Afrobeat, indigenous percussion, soul, jazz, and psychedelic rock creating a sonic world that is both deeply African and unapologetically global.

Before the release of his breakout project David Stones, Ashanta had already built a powerful reputation as a magnetic live performer, known for commanding the stage with raw energy, ritualistic movement, and a voice that pierces through the noise. His performances are transformative experiences, immersive, spiritual, and potent.

Ashanta's music carries the urgency of a griot and the freedom of a traveler. Singing in English, Pidgin, and native tongues, he explores themes of identity, memory etc giving voice to both personal and collective African/Human narratives.

With appearances at alternative music venues, cultural festivals, and underground art gatherings across Nigeria, Brazil and a few other places, Cef Ashanta is now setting his sights on international stages and collaborations. Whether with a full band or in intimate acoustic sets, he delivers performances that stay with audiences long after the last note fades.

He is not just an artist — he is an experience.
