Asher Gamedze is a cultural worker based in Cape Town, South Africa, involved in music, education, and history research. As an independent musician he works as a drummer, composer, and bandleader. A versatile drummer with an open sound and sensibility, Asher plays across and between multiple traditions of music including free improvisation, soul music, rock ‘n roll, and many locally situated traditions from Southern Africa. Gamedze’s debut record as a bandleader, ‘Dialectic Soul’, was released to critical acclaim in 2020. 'Out Side Work: Two Duets', a hard hitting improvised record with reed players Xristian Espinoza and Alan Bishop, came out in 2022. His latest release, back with the quartet, 'Turbulence and Pulse', is out in May 2023 on International Anthem and Mushroom Hour Half Hour.
