BLØF Exhibition
"UMOJA - A Musical Discovery Journey"
In 2005, BLØF contacted Kodo to ask if they would participate in a recording for their upcoming album. That album, UMOJA, was the catalyst for the prolific relationship between these two groups, and a life-changing voyage for the members of BLØF. This special EC exhibition features photos and video clips that follow in the footsteps of the band as they travel the globe in this remarkable journey.
