Janzi Band, an Afro fusion, contemporary and world music inspired youthful group of blokes, has matured into mainstream band over time by leaving lasting impressions on audiences. Their latest exploit has seen them being signed on to headline the Tusker Malt Music Lounge, playing at venues all over the country, once a month, for a year.
The band was at the centre stage of a successful launch of the Tusker Music Lounge last Friday at the Uganda Golf Club, Kitante. The 19th hole experience saw Janzi Band treat golfers and guests to their sweet sounds at a dinner awarding the best performers of the Tusker Malt Golf Series opener.
“Tusker Malt would like give the public the golden chance of being part of a Janzi Band audience, they are a great band and we are giving back to the public by taking them to various places,” said Estella Muzito, head of beer UBL.
Since it was formed in 2009, Janzi Band have performed at major events like the Blankets and Wine Festival, Milege World Music Festival in 2013 and 2015, Pearl Rhythm Festival, Bayimba Festival and so many others. The Tusker Malt Music lounge will also help the band promote their latest nine track album Eka, which has songs like Africa, Just a dream, Ngaali, Njabala , River Road among others
