Fresh from their recent sold out album release show at Gasa Gasa, New Orleans based sextet Yugen have a new video filmed live at the killer party. We’re pleased to premiere it here exclusively.
The band is a high-energy ensemble that does not shy away from the fusion that permeates the Crescent City. A mixture of MC-led hip-hop, improvisational jazz, and synth-happy electro, “Burn It Down” is a dynamic performance that goes from flat-out groovy to the type of heavy that makes you want to bang your head (in a good way).
The group’s name Yugen means a sort of gracefulness, and the band’s aesthetic is just that. The video is well done with smooth transitions and the music has the intangible flow integral to all good hip-hop.
