Jamiroquai in Venice -

Jamiroquai is one of those artists that marked a trend. Not only because of their innovative and contagious funky music but also for the amazing dance moves of singer Kay and his extravagant dress code, although nowadays not such a surprise, certainly a visual trip that renovates constantly.

The group was formed in England in 1992 by singer Jason “Jay” Kay (hence the name), the man known for his strange smooth dance moves and weird hats. But in addition to Jay in the band there also is Derrick McKenzie, the drummer, Sola Akingbola, a percussionist , Rob Harris on guitar, Matt Johnson on keyboards and Paul Turner on bass.

Today the group is synonymous of funk music and considered one of the most relevant, important and trend-setting bands in this musical style.

The name of the band comes from the union of the name of the singer Jason Kay with the name of an Indian tribe called the Iroquois. According to Jason he identifies himself with the mentality of this tribe. In addition it also comes from the English word “jamming” meaning musical improvisation and for this reason as well they decided to use Jamiroquai as their monicker

Throughout its history Jamiroquai has released seven studio albums and in them they are some of the most danced songs in clubs around the world. Tunes such as “Space Cowboy”, “Virtual Insanity” or “Cosmic Girl” have become absolute classics and essential at any club

It all started when Jay Kay showed up to be the singer of the band Brand New Heavies and it just didn´t happen. After that he decided to create his own group and called it the name that is already known worldwide. In ´89 he recorded his first single, called “When You Gonna Learn?” which ended being launched in ´92 through the label Acid Jazz. The rest is history
