Musician Bios:

Tyreek Jackson is a graduate of Berklee College of Music where he earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Composition. Tyreek is currently a TC student in the Music and Music Ed program, and he gives private guitar and bass lessons to the people within the Columbia community. His performance with fellow graduates of Berklee blends fine jazz standards and original compositions.

Nakami is an acoustic soul vocalist, currently studying developmental psychology at Teachers College. A native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nakami is a self-taught pianist and acoustic guitarist, and has been featured at the Walker Art Center as a part of a young artists showcase. A former classically trained cellist, Nakami infuses classical vocal melodies with soul and jazz sounds to create a unique soul singer-songwriter atmosphere. Influenced by her time as a soloist in the Tufts University Third Day Gospel Choir, Nakami has begun to experiment with gospel, spirituals, and the blues in her lyrics and musical compositions.

"Kambujo" was born after three musicians with different musical backgrounds and experiences came together to share a common goal: to create and re-create on the basis of Peruvian music and jazz. Therefore Kambujo became a mean of expression and appraisal of their own living culture that is nurtured and transformed over time.
