JuJu
it takes 3 long years to find the right musicians for project JUJU, to find musicians which are on the same wave as myself. JUJU is a musical project moving between styles like nu-jazz, hip-hop, trip-hop, jungle, etc important for our music is jazz harmony in fusion with electronic beats and backlights.
have a nice time with our music

The soul and power of Shorter's ...
