Telem Uncommon Sounds artists are pioneering a new wave of fresh sounds in Sierra Leone.  With a revolutionary and unconventional style, Telem artists are blending existing genres like Bubu, Gumbe, and Milo jazz with experimental new techniques.  Influences include Jazz, Blues, Neo-Soul, Bossa-Nova, Afro-Jazz, and Funk – and the music is blended with odd sounds,  frequency manipulations, polyphony, recordings and just about whatever else we can imagine.  Unbounded by the rules, Telem artists are a collective of creatives expressing a side of Sierra Leone that the world has not seen before.
