Abaraka was founded by Raphael Forestieri. Raphael uses our high-end portable external battery packs to power his computer and firewire audio interfaces to record in rural areas off the grid where there is no power. For over 10 years, Raphael has studied under top djembe players in Guinea and the United States and continues to share his passion through the cds Abaraka creates and through live performance.
