Ore Yèyé O — 5 Years of Global Rhythm with ÌFÉ

This month marks 5 years since the release of Ore Yèyé O, a deeply personal and joyful collaboration between Aron Ottignon and the groundbreaking electronic percussionist ÌFÉ (aka Otura Mun).

🎶 The Session

This was the last session recorded under Blue Note — and ultimately, they didn’t want to release it. So I left the label and put the track out myself.

What started as a freeform jam session with ÌFÉ evolved into something layered and spiritual. We built the track live, then overdubbed vocals and added textures in post — holding on to the groove and feel of the original take.

“I loved making this track. It felt alive. I hope it gets a few more listens in the future.”

🌐 About ÌFÉ

ÌFÉ is the moniker of New Orleans-based producer and percussionist Otura Mun — a revolutionary force in Afro-Caribbean music.

Blending Yoruba religious chants, Afro-Cuban folklore, and bass-heavy electronic sounds, ÌFÉ has reimagined what live electronic music can be.
No DJs. No sequencing. Pure percussion, coded live.

“The genre-crushing group ÌFÉ is a revelation.” – The New York Times
“Future-forward electronic ritual.” – NPR

Listen to ÌFÉ’s albums IIII+IIII and 0000+0000 for a full experience.

🌀 Independent Spirit

Ore Yèyé O is a reminder of why Urban Trout exists — to release music that might not fit the machine, but speaks to the moment.

Thanks for being with us.
