Featuring a West African rhythm section of doun doun, djembe, balafon and congas alongside sax, guitar, bass and drums, Ausecuma Beats hail from Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Cuba and Australia. Beginning with a cult following that grew out of a long-term Sunday afternoon residency in Brunswick, the nine-piece band is now in demand, with a reputation for live shows brimming with energy, grooves and joy.

“When you mix Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Cuba and Australia, you find yourself with many cultures. We represent Africa, sure, but also we represent diversity. That is the essence of Ausecuma Beats. We want to come together, to bring all people together to share the knowledge of what we have learnt.” Boubacar Gaye.

Since the release of their first EP and full length self-titled LP in 2020, Ausecuma Beats have been making new friends and winning the hearts of audiences everywhere. Performing live, Ausecuma Beats have been a stand out addition at many Australian festivals including Boogie Festival, Melbourne Music Week, Strawberry Fields, and in 2023, WOMADelaide.
