Music - Hoboken, New Jersey, United States
Boso (pronounced bō-sō) means "bamboo house" in Bamana, a Mandé language spoken in Mali (West Africa). Boso was founded in 2010 by musician and entrepreneur David Reid. As a studio guitarist Reid had seen the arsenal of sticks that drummers carry—sticks for every musical style plus backup sticks in case of breakage—and wondered if there was a way to produce a durable stick from a high-quality sustainable resource.
