On the convergence of culture, politics, and art - OSHUN’s Thandiwe and Niambi Sala have chosen to march to the beat of their own drum. The D.C. natives have coined their own music style (Iya Sol) that is a cultural blend of neo-soul & hip-hop. OSHUN’s message of love, peace, cultural awareness and spirituality has been featured at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, Kennedy Center, Afro Punk, Brooklyn Academy of Music, NYU’s Clive Davis Music Institute, South by Southwest (SXSW), and BB Kings in NYC to name a few...
Their first EP, AFAHYE, served as a four-track introduction of the duo. It featured heavy influences from reggae and roots music. Their last project, ASASE YAA, was a nod to the past, an acknowledgement of the present, and a glance at the future.
