On a jazz scene brimming with exceptionally gifted young drummers, ELÉ SALIF HOWELL is rapidly earning a spot in the crowded top tier. A conspicuously talented accompanist before he reached his teens, the San Francisco native has thrived since moving to New York City in 2016, forging deep creative connections with leading contemporaries, mid-career masters, and revered veterans.

Tonite he brings an electrifying band to Bar Lunatico on Feb 29th. Fueled by an energetic and dynamic playing style, Howell will take the audience on a journey through the diverse realms of Afro-diasporic traditions. Growing up in a musical household, Howell's influences include artists such as Miles Davis, Youssou N’Dour, James Brown, and Earth, Wind & Fire. 

With a deep appreciation for musical roots and a fearless exploration of new sounds, Howell weaves his own voice into the folds of his unique compositions that result in a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, offering an auditory experience that is both timeless and contemporary. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this new sound!
