Waaju are a London-based groove-centred world jazz ensemble that encapsulates influences from West African music, but with a specific focus on the music of Mali.
The band plays the original music of drummer/percussionist Ben Brown which combines the exceptional spirit of the likes of Ali Farka Toure, Oumou Sangare, Tinariwen & Baba Sissoko with the spontaneity of jazz harmony & improvisation.
The quintet brings the uniquely nuanced grooves of Waasoulou, 'Desert Blues' & other music styles into a jazz context - resulting in an undeniably energetic performance!
Waaju is:

Ben Brown - Drums/Percussion/Compositions
Sam Rapley - Tenor Saxophone
Tal Jane - Guitar
Joe Downard - Bass
Ernesto Marichales - Percussion
Supporting Waaju is Li Alba, a Latin soul singer born in London. Since beginning her career in opera, she has studied sacred music in Iran as well as polyphonic choral singing in Poland. Back on the UK jazz scene she works with the likes of Sambroso, Kansas Smitty’s and producer CHiF. Her range of cultures and tones is informed and eclectic.
