Waaju’s unique and divergent sound connects the dots between the all of those influences around the globe, samba, salsa, rumba, jazz and African blues. Listen to Waaju new song “Listening Glasses”, the lead single from their upcoming album “Grown” below: Grown by Waaju   Waaju (meaning ‘to urge, inspire or influence to take action’ in Bambara) blend Latin polyrhythms, psychedelic Malian blues licks and dancefloor-oriented UK jazz arrangements. Waaju formed as a means of exploring music’s hidden connections, from trance-inducing Moroccan gnawa to Caribbean carnival music, and embracing them to reflect the different layers of London’s own musical culture. Waaju drummer Ben Brown said: “The amazing thing about music is that one can display the belief, compassion and love that takes a lifetime to acquire, in just a few seconds. As well as all these things, I hope this snapshot gives a glimpse into undiscovered places in the world and in ourselves”.
