​

 

 

JELI

1 :  a member of a class of traveling musical and verbal                 artists and storytellers who maintain a tradition of oral           history

 

POSSE

1 :  a body of persons to assist in preserving the public peace       usually in an emergency

2 :  a group of people temporarily organized to make                     a search

3 :  a large group often with a common interest

​

I always summarize Jeli Posse's swing savvy, world spiced flavor by saying "everything builds on everything as the values and traditions are passed down. From the African roots to today, many ingredients have been thrown into the pot. The band continues to expand on the the ground laid by the medicine men and messengers before us".
