Jembaa Groove - Aawoya

Jembaa Groove | Adesane

[twistedsoulmusic]

‘Ye Ankasa | We Ourselves’ is a powerful and spiritually Rich album from Jembaa Groove, a multicultural band founded in late 2020 by bass player and composer Yannick Nolting and singer-percussionist Eric Owusu. Whenever artists attempt to dive deep into their ancestry and their roots with a somewhat honest and innocent curiosity, you know something great is on the way for them. Jembaa is on that exact path of glory with this album. Deep ancestral flows, between Ghana and Europe, powered by enthralling conga-led rhythms and luscious horn work in their new album bring out the immaculate sense of familiarity and originality in the contemporary jazz scene. In the heart of Berlin, the young and senior generation from Ghana and its diaspora came together for this album. Vocal masterclasses come via Sheffield-based K.O.G and original veteran of the 70s and 80s highlife scene Gyedu Blay Ambolley, with Ghanian multi-instrumentalist and producer Kwame Yeboah also inspiring.

Jembaa Groove - Ye Ankasa | We Ourselves

Rich in ancestral flows, between Ghana and Europe, powered by deep,  conga led rhythms and seductive warm horn riffs come Jembaa Groove,  whose new album and newly rendered sound, reminds us that jazz, in its  contemporary, soulful form is not just a London ‘ting’. Highlife is  Ghana’s colourful national tradition and is at the heart of Berlin based  Jembaa Groove’s groove.

Jembaa Groove - Susuma - from Berlin, “Ghana’s Highlife going by the heartbeat of 70s Soul Music” (Agogo Records)

Jembaa Groove is a Berlin based Afro-Soul group founded in late 2020 by Yannick Nolting (Bass, Composer, Producer) and Eric Owusu (vocals, percussion, songwriter). They first met fortuitously at a playground in Berlin early 2020 whilst collecting their young sons from kindergarden and soon after realised they were onto something special. Speaking the same musical language, the two musical nomads quickly realized the fruitful outcome of their musical encounter. Digging deep into both their backgrounds and musical identities, they came up with a new and yet authentic vibe ready to be spread across the world. 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 jazzy sounds from Berlin's uprising underground music scene with traditional West-African sounds from Ghana and Mali, such as Highlife, Adowa and Wassoulou. The music of Jembaa Groove is as much influenced by the soulful rhythms and baritone chords of 70's black America and contemporary artists like Lee Fields and Ikebe Shakedown, as it is by highlife artists such as Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas, with whom Eric has been touring and recording for many years. Garnering a smattering of support from the media world like KEXP, KCRW, Worldwide FM, Rinse FM,WDR Cosmo and enough stations round the world off the back of their "Bassa Bassa" track, Jembaa Groove are causing a storm with their hybrid West African meets US soul & jazz sound.  Eric Owusu (Ghana) – Vocals/Percussion Yannick Nolting (Germany) – Bass/Bandleader Moses Yoofee Vester (Germany/Ghana) – Keys Babatunde Agonglo (Benin) – Guitar Nir Sabag (Israel) – Drums Merav Goldman Isreal) – Horn Goncalo Mortagua (Portugal) – Saxlicenseall rights reservedtagsTagsworld afrobeat dance groove Berlin
