Jagwa Music Concert and party for the herbst opening

50% live 50% party

Jagwa Music is a young band from Tanzania who conjure wild grooves and amazing tempo from traditional and self-made instruments. The kinanda, an old Casio keyboard, in Swahili “box that makes music”, plays a special role: by connecting it to an amplifier, kinanda musicians take advantage of the feedback and distortion potential of the equipment in such an astonishing manner that you might rightly refer to this music as Afro punk. Rhythm and sound are also reminiscent of minimal or trance music. Largely ignored by the mainstream in Tanzania, Mchiriku bands such as Jagwa Music find their fans on the streets of Dar es Salaam – many of them know the lyrics that revolve around the hard fight for survival in the urban jungle, well-known sayings that are even found on dala dala minibus taxis.
