Riddim Exchange is an Oakland rhythm collective of musicians trading grooves between Afrobeats, highlife, jazz, and funk in real time, on a real stage. We are an artist band that also play covers as needed to deliver a great experience to our audience. We started of as a gig band and slowly grew into a collective of talented musicians that slowly led to our pivot and strategy change from last year. Our next original releases are planned starting from May through the end of the year. Our debut album is in production now, and the live show is where you hear what that music becomes when it breathes.

We don't stay in one lane. The conversation between genres and style is our intersection and our brand identity. Originally influenced by west African rhythms but heavily influenced by unique musical arrangements from bands like Snarky puppy and Scary pockets, we make music at the intersection of genres and cultures.

Point Richmond audiences come for music that moves them. That's exactly what we build and we are excited for the opportunity to share the stage with other great musicians
