Bio
.. .. .. 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. ..Debut new full CD release More Big Muzik from Over There comprehensively raids the global dance chest & grooves its way across the popular music of the continents, impressively linking both established & emerging musicians from our growing community of migrant & refugee artists with some of the finest roots and jazz singers & players from the region & beyond.. whilst regular special guests in the mix include BBC award-winning Fulani troubadour Juldeh Camara & shamanistic soundsmith Juan Gabriel Gutierrez from Colombia ..''exciting & special..comes across with a maturity and slow-burning beauty, to savour and enjoy..''(Debbie Golt: African Essence/Resonance FM) ........To get more goodies from Rafiki Jazz, click on the picture .... .. ........ .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ......Kelefa Jah.. from ..Jennifer Rich.. on ..Vimeo..... .... .. .. .. .. .. ......Rafikian Mim Suleiman at Sauti za Busara Festival Zanzibar Feb 2010 in Swahili Encounter: where artists meet.. from ..May van Gent.. on ..Vimeo......... -
