Alabê KetuJazz has been played on NTS shows including Tropic of Love w/ Mafalda , with Vássi Para Omolú Em Si Bemol Menor first played on 26 October 2022.

Afro-Brazilian Candomblé rhythms meet jazz in this duo of Brazilian saxophonist/composer Glaucus Linx and French percussionist/composer Antoine Olivier.

Glaucus Linx created melodies through his osmotic and ancestral link to the Candomblé universe, within which he was raised in Brazil, and which was subsequently reinforced by his long stay in France, where he had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous African artists, including the legendary Salif Keita.

Antoine Olivier was the apprentice of Dofono De Omulú, respected master drummer of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé. He himself became an ogun alabê (sacred drummer) and played in religious ceremonies, where he learned the language of the rum drum (the leading drum) and how to establish a dialogue with the Orixás, the deities of Candomblé, via the entranced dancing practitioners.

Since forming their partnership in 2012, Glaucus and Antoine have created original music and textures inspired by rhythms and rituals, where the saxophone assumes the part of the Orixás telling their story through musical movements. This artistic approach opened many esthetic possibilities, transforming the raw material of the rituals into a new musical format, essentially Brazilian, where the spontaneous creativity of jazz meets the traditional rhythms of the Ketu Nation: Alabê Ketujazz.
