Pesewa is the solo musical project of Jeffrey Ellom, a settler of Ewe, Polish and Irish heritage who resides within the unceded territories of the Lekwungen-speaking Peoples. His afrofuturist sound inspires movement and contemplation in turn, integrating indigenous Ghanaian instruments and musical forms with electronic drums and synthesized ambience. As a student of his musical inheritance, Pesewa aims to contribute to the artistic legacies of the Ewe people.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
