Joining forces with “premium highlifers” The Cavemen, the band got together for another contemporary take on Highlife, Jazz and Afrobeats, also featuring legendary Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara, both of whom will also be coming to Paard for their own shows!

The new wave of Afro-Jazz is flourishing around the globe, and Jembaa Groove is on the way to becoming one of the most important ambassadors of this aspiring genre. The newest additions to the line-up include two highly acclaimed members of the European jazz scene who are successful bandleaders themselves.
