682konto the dance floor throughout the Pacific Northwest since their debut
performance in February of 1996 (W.O.W. Hall; Eugene, Oregon).
A wide range of musical influences (Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley,
Buena Vista Social Club, Cubanismo and Paco de Lucia, to name a few)
make for a band that will take you from an Afro-Cuban groove to a reggae
onedrop, from funk to flamenco, or even mix them all together for
something completely new. ABAKADUBI is more than just music, though.
It is a full visual/audio experience, with seven versatile musicians and four
professional flamenco and Afro-Caribbean dancers.
The "cast" of ABAKADUBI includes :
Jaime Woods
(flamenco/electric guitars, bass guitar & lead vocals)
Rose Woods
(dancer & lead vocals)
Vanessa Woods
(alto/tenor saxophones & lead vocals)
Ohj Tavallai
(trombone, congas & bongos)
Ishi Woods
(vocals, congas & drumsets)
Camillo DePaolo
(bass guitar)
David Woods
(harmonica & vocals)
The entire group
provides background vocals, as powerfully driven,
socially conscious
lyrics are often a centerpiece to the music.
Altogether,
you're in for a show that is diverse, high energy
and pleasing
to both the ears and eyes alike.
ABAKADUBI
has
performed across the Northwest at venues such as
The Oregon
Country Fair Mainstage (1998 & 2002)
Seattle Folklife
Festival
Fiesta Latina
(Eugene, OR)
The Filbert
Festival (Springfield, OR)
They were voted
"Favorite
Local Band' in 2000 & 2001
by the patrons
of the Community Center for the Performing Arts.
ABAKADUBI
was
voted second place in the "Favorite
Local Band"
category of
the Eugene Weekly's 2001 "Best of Eugene"

album,

for Boriken"
