The spiritual force behind L.A.’s eclectic music scene.” – The New York Times

A meeting of three luminous musical explorers—Carlos Niño, Laraaji, and Idris Ackamoor—coming together for the first time in an open, improvisational journey. With Niño’s intuitive percussion, Laraaji’s radiant zither, and Ackamoor’s soulful saxophone, this salon unfolds as a fluid conversation in sound—spontaneous, meditative, and full of possibility.

The trio will move through deep grooves, celestial drones, and free-flowing melodies, creating a space for deep listening and discovery. A rare moment, never to be repeated, where music leads the way into the unknown.
