about

There’s been a chain reaction of connections since I landed in NYC and it’s thanks to all of the artists, thinkers and lovers that this thing is possible. Big Ears is a statement by my ever-evolving project The Wali Sanga. This 33min song collection blends funky pop rock pocket with lyrics straddling diary and dance hall. The statement is groovy but in the end, it's plea to hear each other out. You have the capacity. Big Heart. Big Ears. -- Sheriff Ariff, 2019
