Visionary Producers Chuck Mays
and Jeff "J-Song" Henderson
established NaMawu Records in
September 2002 in order to provide
a unique and creative recording
outlet for their seminal production
sound, better known as BAY- HOP.
Their passion for using original sounds,
images, organic pieces, and dynamic
production approaches constitutes a
deliberate attempt to bring eclectic
elements back to modern, contempo-
rary music. NaMawu Records is an
independent, San Francisco-based

record label that sets itself apart from other labels by producing and distributing
wide-ranging music with diverse artists, allowing for an amazing cross-section
of all genres of musical influences like Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Rock, Jazz, Reggae,
Dub and World Beat.
