about
RAFIKI JAZZ are the UK’s fast-rising world music collective playing tracks from their acclaimed new debut album More Big Muzik from Over There! (KONICD09) As a big & diverse family of star African & Latin diaspora musicians and outstanding local singers & music-makers, they stretch out together in an inspired fusion playing gloriously ambitious contemporary global dance music. Fronted by an electrifying all-Yorkshire vocal quartet propelled by human beatboxer UNome and featuring the fiery Swahili passion of Zanzibari Real World recording artist Mim Suleiman alongside bossa-jazz singer Rosie Brown’s cool liquid stylings & Vanessa Rani Chutturghoon’s sultry jazz-creole, their live shows deliver an ecstatic babble of voices, languages, melodies & rumbling rhythms. Rafiki Jazz hail from a special place..Over There! where beatbox meets berimbau..and Brazil greets Banjul. http://www.facebook.com/people/Rafiki-Jazz/100000126640390 http://www.myspace.com/rafikijazz User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
