Jujuba

Ridiculously danceable Afrobeat and Juju Music

About Me

Jujuba is an 11-piece Afrobeat and Juju band featuring master talking drum player, Nojeem Lasisi. The powerful and melodic beat from Nojeem's drum catalyzes pure Afrofunk energy between Jujuba's horn, rhythm and percussion sections. Nasty lines and soulful solos blare from the four-piece horn section. Bass, keys, guitar and drum kit forge a funky backbone rhythm section. An explosive percussion section with flavors ranging from West Africa, Cuba and Brazil ignite the dance floor. The result: a sound that is irresistibly danceable.
