This will be Haji Basim’s second year at BaliSpirit and we are so happy to have him back!
Haji Basim is a driven, passionate and charismatic artist with a unique approach to his blend of Folk, R&B, and World music. An award winning internationally touring multi-Instrumentalist and singer songwriter, Haji Basim has created a new genre called Urban Folk.
His refreshing and innovative blend of urban folk falls somewhere in between the intimacy of artists such as Sufjan Stevens or Josè Gonzales and the sensuality and groove of performers such as D'Angelo or The Weeknd, just to mention a few.
His brand of Urban Folk music was created from the influences of several styles including Folk, Soul, Hip Hop, Flamenco, Bossa Nova and Neo Soul. In finding deep connection with other genres of music, Haji humbly makes it evident, "“It is not genre that makes music great, but the ability to translate emotion and thought". ”
