What a beautiful evening with Manu Martínez and his incredible band at Live From The Bridge. Music like that reminds us how powerful it is when artists bring their full hearts, heritage, and imagination into a room and share it in real time. Thank you to the entire ensemble for giving us such a rich and moving night of sound.
Special thanks to Jose Alvarado for reaching out with the idea and helping bring this one to life. We are so grateful when artists and collaborators trust The Bridge as a home for moments like these.
And deepest thanks to everyone who came out and supported another Live From The Bridge. Your presence means more than attending a show - you helped make the recording happen. Creating music and capturing it in the moment is a rare and meaningful thing, and every person in the room becomes part of that story.
Huge love as always to @amon_drum@urosh@greg_tock for rocking the setup, engineering, and helping the room feel seamless from first note to last. Thanks to @monakayhan - the producer of this series, @allthatjazz_nyc for co-hosting and footage as well as @fort.hamilton.distillery for the tasty freshly batched old fashioned cocktails.
These nights continue to remind us what community can feel like. Join us in May for more Live From The Bridge - link in bio.

GRAMMY NOMINATED! We are thrilled to have recorded "JERUSALEMA" for the absolute force that is @angeliquekidjo at The Bridge Studio! Congratulations to all including our Chief Engineer @amon_drum for being part of this incredible honor. It is these affirming moments that make the blood, sweat and tears of running a recording studio in New York City worth it.
Thank you to the @recordingacademy . We are over the moon.
So this is how the night ended just like old times. Mona inevitably carrying a drum or speaker up flights of stairs in heels. 😂💪Swipe to the left and you’ll see how it began. - sappy personal shit below - scroll on 😉
I haven’t posted in a while, but here I am.
I just want to give my sincere gratitude to my dance floor family. I’ve tried to keep it quiet over the last few years that I’ve been dealing with a severe back injury. It forced me to step away from my instrument. I’ve been focusing on the studio and I’m immensely grateful for that opportunity. I know I’m not alone and many of you are no strangers to injuries illnesses and hardships. Sometimes you need that last push from a friend to help you see the possibilities, and progress you’ve made.
Thank you @therealnappyg , @barkham & @monakayhan for pushing me back in the pool.
I’m not saying that I’m back yet. To use a basketball analogy this would be like a preseason game, but it was just so nice to play. Huge shout & respect to the one & only @richmedina for the opportunity. Can’t stop won’t stop. More to come soon. ❤️
Something special’s brewing 🌍✨ Famoro Dioubaté—master of the balafon and a true Djeli (Griot)—is linking up with Analog Players Society (@amon_drum + @szechswan ) aka the Fote Ninjas. Think ancient West African tradition w/ a heavy dose of Afrofuturism, nasty, overdriven synth heavy & dub.
Here’s a first glimpse from @tothebridgenyc . Album on the way. 🚀

Throwback to one of the last sessions before the rona hit. I’m posting things that put me in that “happy place” and this is a big one! Famoro!!!! Looking forward to having my fam back in the studio someday soon, along with my fellow “Fote Ninja” brother @szechswan . To the bridge! #recordingstudio #allwaysrollin #balaphon #guinea #mastermusician #brooklyn
