Speaking the same musical language, they quickly realized the fruitful outcome of their musical encounter and decided to spend a couple of months composing their original music. Digging deep into both their backgrounds and musical identities, they came up with an organic result both like to label as Afro-Soul. After seeking for the right companions for the upcoming journey and stumbling on a few of Berlin's finest musicians, they finally formed Jembaa Groove, a 7-piece band that combines fresh sounds from Berlin's underground music scene with traditional West-African sounds from Ghana and Mali, such as Highlife, Adowa and Wassoulou. Their aesthetic vision is inspired by soul music from the '60s and '70s and avoids overly-produced commercial arrangements while merging driving bass grooves and steady drum patterns with fresh horn lines and catchy melodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“killer !”\u003cbr\u003eDom Servini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“nice and easy groove”\u003cbr\u003eRadio Helsinki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“great song”\u003cbr\u003eBoom Shaka Laka Radio Show\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Beautiful tune going right into today's radio show”\u003cbr\u003eNickodemus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The groove, instrumentation and vocals all vibe on MAJOR LEVELS!
