About
Àbáse means cooperation in Yoruba. It is both the stage name of Hungarian producer and multi-instrumentalist Szabolcs Bognár and that of his six-piece band. Born in Hungary in 1991, he began studying jazz piano at the Budapest Conservatory. He experiments with Rhodes sounds, works as a DJ and dives deep into the highlife and Yoruba culture of West Africa. After organizing the Fela Kuti festival "Felabration" in Budapest in 2017, Szabolcs, known as Szabi, ended up in South America by accident.
