Waaju

Rhythms pulse. Skins Resonate. Feet shuffle and heartbeats quicken. Waaju’s energy builds, weaving psychedelic soundscapes through potent beats, transcending the stage and melting into bodies. With a unique approach to a familiar sound, they rise from London’s rich cultural palette, proving UK Jazz doesn’t have to sound the way we expect it to. After two highly acclaimed studio records, Waaju's upcoming collaborative album 'Alouane' is alongside Moroccan Gnawa music legend Majid Bekkas, released on BBE Records on 11th October. Their Maida Vale live session on Gilles Peterson's 6 Music show was described by him as "one of the most well-received shows I've ever had here, whether on Radio 1 or 6 Music". Expect hard hitting grooves & powerful, emotive vocals.
