Drumojo
|
The Drumojo Sound System is the best of both worlds: a hi tech disco and light show with live acoustic and electronic percussion on top.
As part of an evening's entertainment with a live band or just by itself The Drumojo Sound System can provide the grooves you need for a night of fun. From left-field underground to main stream boogie, from euphoric dance to classic rock, from jazz-funk standards to world and folk flavours we can set-up a track list to play all night and if required get the DJ working on requests from the crowd. And when its time, get the drumming started for a night to remember! |
At Drumojo we like nothing more than putting it all in the melting pot and seeing what we come up with.
For us every music has rhythm so we like every kind of music. So long as they are put together in an interesting and exciting way lots of music can sound great together. Fusion is often associated with jazz or world music which we love but fusion for us means more... it means the whole experience including visual arts, the literary arts, fashion, cuisine, dance... in another words a fusion of cultures. |
Whether it's playing an out-door summer festival, a series of concert dates or a fund raising charity dance The Drumojo Band provide all the entertainment you need. With an extensive repertoire of covers and compelling original numbers we provide the rhythms for dancing the night away and the melodies and tunes for enjoyable reflection.
Original compositions performed live include: Look into their eyes - Winterdrum 2007 Shake the world - Winterdrum 2008 Different drum - Wycombe Community Festival 2010 Once in a life time day - Wycombe Community Festival 2012 |
Every town has a Salsa dancing night but does every town have a Salsa band? Not yet but maybe one day.
Until then Drumojo Salsa are happy to get you dancing with their unique blend of Cuban percussion including timbales, congas, bongos, guiro and the mambo bell! At Drumojo HQ we love Salsa and especially the work and music of the late and great Tito Puente... Oye Como Va! |
At Drumojo we can get quite political and somewhat anti-establishment, especially when we see people suffering!
To give voice to our protestations we have created a new musical identity Funk the System. Is that Funk? Or is that Fu*k?
