JARAFRO BAND
It is an Ivorian musical group created in 2002 under the initiative of JARAFRO LE JAZZIWÊ. Originally, this iconoclastic group started from the meeting of musicians with different influences (jazz, classical, reggae, ziglibity, zouglou (Ivorian genres), etc.) but sharing a common passion: music. Gifted as well as each other, the members of the group have managed to develop a particular style of music called "Codijazz". Which means "Ivory Coast Jazz". In short, it is a mixture of African classics, in particular Ivorian, and Western, Oriental and American music. Anything that justifies the choice of the name of the group: JARAFRO which is an acronym: Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Reggae and Afro (Afro beat and African music). Over the years, the group has been reconstituted because some members have regularly left for personal or professional reasons or to try another adventure. JARAFRO is two albums MEDITATION released in 2013 and DE L' OMBRE À LA LUMIÈRE released in 2016 but also two singles Alléluia Hosanna released in 2002 and le pénitencier Atchan released in 2020.
