Yemanjo is the musical moniker of producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer Ben Harris. Born in the cultural goldmine of California's Bay Area, Harris became enamored with the music of Latin America and Africa at a young age--an obsession that only grew when he began traveling the world at 19. Yemanjo began as an organic/electronic exploration of the shamanic music of South America, but quickly grew to include West African and Middle Eastern idioms as well.

In recent years, Yemanjo has proved himself a remixer in high demand, putting his unique touch on tracks by Mose, Balkan Bump, TACHES, Raio, Scott Nice and many more....and with the release of his full length album "La Misma Fuente" on Wonderwheel Recordings in 2024, Yemanjo is revealed in the full flower of his artistic promise.

The production is a crisp and warm mix of acoustic and electronic elements with Harris' live trumpet and other instruments woven throughout. From lyrical composition and vocals on the title track to features with consummate singers from Mali, Colombia and Hungary, this is cosmopolitan, tasteful beatmaking with a deep understanding and love for the cultural traditions which inspired it.
