   About Jujuba
Jujuba is an 11-piece Afrobeat and Juju band featuring master talking drum player, Nojeem Lasisi. The powerful and melodic beat from Nojeem's drum catalyzes pure Afrofunk energy between Jujuba's horn, rhythm and percussion sections. Nasty lines and soulful solos blare from the four-piece horn section. Bass, keys, guitar and drum kit forge a funky backbone rhythm section. An explosive percussion section with flavors ranging from West Africa, Cuba and Brazil ignite the dance floor. The result: a sound that is irresistibly danceable. Check out www.jujuba.org for more details and our new album...

Hello Jujuba, thank you for adding me to your Myspace circle of friends. Your talking drum not only talks, it sings with a passion for dancing. Great ensemble work. Your music is fun and exciting. It was a treat to listen to it. -John

NW Fall Tour Dates for Oregon

11/21 Portland, Or / Jimmy Maks / 8pm
11/22 Eugene, Or / Jo Federigos / 9pm
11/23 Talent, Or / Avalon / 8pm



This will be DVB's last run through Oregon for the year and we would love nothing more than to see you at a show. The tour is hot on the heels of a week in NYC that saw us push our new ideas about music to some great new heights. Needless to say we are eager to share. Thanks for being a supporter of whacked progressive instrumental sounds.

SHAZAMASTÉ
I honor the funk that is in you, and in me, for it is the funk of the cosmos, the very soup of divinity, the most subaurally profound tuba note of the universe. When you are in that soup in you,
I am in that soup in me,
(ahem) and we are myspace friends,
we are one.
