Save or relocate System Krush Studio

Time is running out!!! Save or relocate System Krush Studio. The Landlord where Aja has been leasing to buy his farm and studio has broken the agreement and now he is faced with the predicament of outright buying the property or relocating. He has lost a substantial amount of money he paid down off the principal of the property over the years.

Please Help a supporter of Arts and Music save an Iconic Studio. For more than 25 years Musican/ Producer/ Label Owner Aja Salvatore has been tirelessly supporting Musicians and artists here in America and around the world especially in Africa and The Diaspora.

He has raised as well as donated Hundreds of Thousands of dollars over the years to support Artists in many endeavors.

From paying for recordings to helping produce and distribute albums,to giving studio time and helping people with personal emergencies this Brother has been there time and time again.

We are trying to make a miracle happen If 5000 people donated $20 dollars We can save the studio...if 3000 people donated we can move it and rebuild it ... if one thousand people Donated $ 20 we can definitely dismantle and move everything to climate controlled storage) so far with 22 donations it’s up to $2500 ....

For 23 years he has sponsored Workshops and created economic opportunities for Master Drummers and Dancers from Mali, Senegal, Guinea, Cuba and Brazil in Northern California, hosting teachers in his home.

He has often Said “Growing up around African Dance and AfroCaribbeans and African Americans during the Rise and creation of Hip Hop Music and Culture in The New York Metropolitan area shaped my whole life”

This inspired him to fulfill a lifelong dream to travel, study and work in Africa and led him to create the fair trade record label Kanaga System Krush. Time working and studying in Mali gave Birth to the soon to be released Music in Mali documentary narrated by actor Danny Glover and featuring a slew of Legendary Malian musicians, exploring Manding culture and its massive impact on America.

Over the course of 10 years he and his brother worked with hundreds of Malian musicians including Zani Diabate, Djelimady Tounkara, Lobi Traore, Abdoul Doumbia, Sali Sidibe, Toumani Diabate, Zoumana Tereta, Ami Koita, Sibiri Samake, Madou Diabate, Khaira Arby, Gaspi and Iba1.

For any of you who know Aja or have been at his property over the years, you know he created a safe haven for musicians from all over the world to record and relax in a beautiful environment.

If there is anyone out there looking for a new business venture this is a property with a state of the art music studio on it. Functioning many years as a farm and ranch it is a great destination for recording and relaxing in between sessions at the Yuba River.

 If Aja can’t find an investor, or raise enough money he will need to shift gears and start to take everything off the property and dismantle and move System Krush Studios.

This amazing space has been graced by the presence of Anna and Sandy Perez( Los Muñequitos de Mantanzas), Jon Connor ( Dr. Dre, The Game), Cyhi the Prince ( Travis Scott, Kanye West, Jack Harlow, Pusha T), Les Nubians, Pakistani Legend Dildar Hussain ( Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan ), Honey LaRochelle (Roberta Flack, Macy Gray, Marcus Miller), Jahdan Blackamoore ( Snoop Dogg, Major Lazer, Dead Prez), Fat Trel ( Rick Ross, Big K.R.I.T., Gucci Mane), RFA ( Aierto Moriera, Emcida) and so many others.

 We know hard times have fallen on many , but any help would be greatly appreciated. He is seeking to raise $20,000 to help dismantle the property, or much more to attempt to save it ($50-100k)

Please donate whatever you can and share this with anyone and everyone you know. Especially people who support culture and music. When sharing if you have your own personal story about Aja and his work or the studio please share it. It’s with the help of our communities that we get things done!

If Aja has ever been there for you or supported you or someone you know please help him. He would love nothing more than being able to return to a position of continuing to help and support up and coming artists!

Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone who donates.
