Buku: Dancer in New York

About Buku

Buku is a dance artist appearing in New York City at Webster Hall, including the January 25, 2026 bill WonkyWilla (19 and Over) alongside WonkyWilla and smith. The name also connects to the BUKU Music + Art Project, a New Orleans–rooted festival that has long paired electronic and hip-hop lineages with visual art and street-performance elements. In performance, Buku works in a club-facing context where movement sits close to the music’s structure and pacing. The approach favors clean timing over theatrical display.
