In the 1960’s, Juma formed the free-form musical collective called the Aboriginal Music Society with his brother in music Ali K. Abuwi

Juma Sultan | A group of seven musicians from the Aboriginal Music Society is performing on stage in a cozy, dimly lit venue. They are playing instruments including drums, congas, a keyboard, and a saxophone. Audience members are seated at tables, enjoying the live music in the intimate atmosphere.

Today’s incarnation of the band is a rotating ensemble of extremely diverse musical sensibilities and approaches, resulting in a unique sound that can be described as “World-Beat Garage Jazz”.
