Ausecuma Beats

Ausecuma Beats is a dynamic Afro-Cuban ensemble based in Melbourne, Australia, known for their vibrant fusion of West African rhythms and Latin grooves. The group's name is a mix of the cities from which its core members hail—Australia, Senegal, Cuba, and Mali—reflecting their deep cultural and musical roots. Led by master djembe player Boubacar Gaye, Ausecuma Beats is more than just a band; it's a philosophy centered around unity, cultural exchange, and the power of rhythm to bring people together.

The band brings a high-energy blend of percussion, horns, and infectious dance grooves to the stage, drawing influences from across Africa and the Caribbean. Their live shows are celebrations of community and rhythm, and their recordings—like “Dakar Bamako” and “Tropical Storm”—are full of raw, joyful energy. With a focus on collaboration and cultural storytelling, Ausecuma Beats continues to carve out a unique space in the global music scene.
