Well, they make music of course! Adum7 is an Artist from New York, whom I have known since 2006. Like me, he has toured around the World with his music. One interesting fact that we have in common is that we have both performed in a “-Stan” country. A few months after my tour in Kazakhstan, Adum7 spent time teaching beat-making and producing in Uzbekistan. How unique is that?

Last August, while Adum7 was visiting Paris, we decided to bring our talents together to create a unique, interactive and musical crossover experience. As a result, in just a few days, Adum7 and I are traveling to Niger, West Africa to perform music together as well as work with local music students, on a trip that is sponsored by the Africa Regional Services department of the US Embassy. We are very excited to be working together for the first time while combining our collective love of creative expression, travel and cultural exchange.

Our trip begins on Tuesday March 19th, so make sure to follow our journey to Niamey, Niger via Instagram or Facebook.http://www.facebook.com/sholaadisafarrar
