Adam Rudolph’s Hu Vibrational: Vibe Ride
Renowned composer/percussionist Adam Rudolph returns to Roulette with his project Hu Vibrational in an evening of sonic meditation to celebrate the November 2025 release of their record, Vibe Ride (New Dawn Records). Vibe Ride is the group’s sixth album exploring what they call “Boonghee Music,” an organic and percussive dance music fusion, or “a cascade of world-inspired beats from Africa, Asia and South America, mixed with jazz, hip-hop and electronica.” (JazzTimes). First dreamed up in the early 2000s by Rudolph with producer Carlos Niño and percussionist Hamid Drake, Hu Vibrational has been continued over the past two decades by Rudolph, as the only original member of the band. Hu Vibrational has been described as deeply spiritual music, featuring numerous instruments such as dusu’ngoni, gimbre, udu drums, kalimbas, cajon, voice, and electronics. Rudolph describes the resulting soundscape as a “sonic mandala.”
Vibe Ride: A Sonic Mandala Meditation is not a regular concert—feel free to bring yoga mats, blankets, pillows, edibles, the desire to dance.

“Over the course of the last few decades, Adam Rudolph has quietly become a giant of world fusion and spiritual jazz.” -Bandcamp
“Music that thrives on the balance of simultaneously reaching backwards and forwards in time. It soothes and reorients, yet feels like the opposite of somnambulant new-age massage tapes.” -JazzTimes
