Kafari is the alias of Cincinnati-born, Portland, Maine based pianist and multi-instrumentalist Ahmad Muhammad. His warm, soulful sound synthesizes his love of ambient piano music, spiritual jazz, experimental hip-hop and dreamlike electronic textures. Kafari’s 2026 LP ‘Autumn’s Kiss’ is the artist’s most ambitious and refined work to date, highlighting his unique interests across the worlds of piano music, ambient music and beatmaking.

Crazy Déjà Vu brings to you NEW FREAKOUT from Portland, Maine to make you shake and convulse. Analog visuals with demented songs featuring live and electronic drums, funky bass, skewed samples, unhinged guitar, and dual frontman lovers.
