The Tanzanian Jagwa Music (Tanzania) touring Denmark, 10-11 September.

From the poor suburbs of Dar es Salaam, Jagwa Music play a style of music with chakacha roots known as mchiriku. Jagwa Music guarantees to set any concert venue ablaze with explosive performances that always keep the crowds jumping and bouncing from start to finish. Their stage show is unique – a non-stop gymnastic workout choreographed with skill and sensitivity, combining theatrics, acrobatic prowess, a big amount of humour and energy. The group features minimal instruments including a hand-held Casio keyboard, drums, whistles and a battered old stool beaten with sticks for extra percussive flavour.

"Suddenly, we are all swept up in something so frantic it’s difficult to know whether to run or get pummelled into the sand. It’s like walking into a monsoon. This is possibly the most outrageously thrilling spectacle in Africa today”. (MOJO Magazine)
