Biography of Baba Jubal
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jubal grew up immersed in the sounds of gospel, jazz and rhythm and blues. A 1968 performance by the Darlene Blackburn Dancers and Drummers from Chicago ignited his desire to play African percussion.
On a trip to Harlem when he was 19, Jubal was introduced to the drumming of Babatunde Olatunji by Brett Brown, a drummer on Olatunji''s original Drums of Passion album.
In 1974, while performing with the SunShip band at the University of Amherst, Jubal met, and began playing with, Moshe Milon in the Chicago group Sun Drummer. Jubal later traveled to Chicago to study and perform with the group under the leadership of Harold Atu Murray.
As a drummer and a flutist, Jubal has performed in Gambia, Senegal, and the Ivory Coast in West Africa. He has also performed in New York city, New Jersey, Berkeley, Calif., Hawaii, Washington D.C. and Detroit. In Atlanta, he was onstage for the opening of the 1996 National Black Arts Festival. In Ohio, where he now lives, Jubal has performed at the Ohio State House in Columbus, and with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. He has also played at Severance Hall and at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, both in Cleveland.
