Jembaa Groove w/ Skankin’ Nation

After garnering massive support from the international media world
(KEXP, BBC6 Music, Gilles Peterson, Soulection, KCRW, FIP and many
more) of the back of their first two albums, "Susuma" and "Ye Ankasa/We
Ourselves", and selling out numerous shows across Europe, with Festival
appearances at Supersonic Jazz (NL), JazzOnze+ (CH) London Jazz
Festival (UK), and many more, Jembaa Groove embarked on their 2025 tour
with a fresh line-up and brand new songs that are set to release in
Fall 2025. On their newest undertaking, Jembaa Groove are strengthening
ties to Lagos and London's vibrant Afro-Fusion scenes. Joining forces
with "premium highlifers" The Cavemen (NIG), the band got together for
another contemporary take on Highlife, Jazz and Afrobeats, also
featuring legendary Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara and Nigerian vocal
sensation Tim Lyre.

The new wave of Afro-Jazz is flourishing around the globe, and Jembaa
Groove is on the way to becoming one of the most important ambassadors
of this aspiring genre. The newest additions to the line-up include two
highly acclaimed members of the European jazz scene who are successful
bandleaders themselves. Szabolcs "Àbáse" Bognar (HUN) on keys and Peter
Somuah (GHA) on trumpet will join the band on their upcoming world
tour, which will take them through Europe, the UK, the US, and South
Africa.
