Jojo Abot

Abot developed FYFA WOFO into a multimedia project while she participated in NEW INC, the New Museum's incubator for artists, designers and technologists.

[3][4][5] Abot's music bends genres and is inspired by jazz, afropunk, hip hop and soul, as well as tribal and indigenous sounds.

NGIWUNKULUNKULU translates to "I am God" in Zulu[7] and is the result of her personal identity exploration in reaction to apartheid's lasting impact in Johannesburg, South Africa.

[8] Both NGIWUNKULUNKULU and FYFA WOFO showcase Abot's signature sound and style, which she calls “afro-hypno-sonic,” a blend of Afrobeat, futuristic soul and electronic beats.

[9] Later on September 24, 2022 National Sawdust hosted the première of the immersive and experiential opera, "A Good of Her Own Making," written and created by Jojo Abot in collaboration with five-time Grammy winning musician and restorative arts devotee, Esperanza Spalding.
