Tarabu

TARABU is an electrifying Jazz and World Music group from the Cape Winelands of South Africa. 

TARABU is Francois le Roux (saxophones & clarinets), with Philip Malan (guitar, bass & drum kit), Lucas Heinen (piano & piano accordion), and Byron Carr (guitar & bass). Special guest musicians are often featured on drums and vocals. All musicians are highly accomplished performers and composers, each in their own right, and as a band they aim to fuse some of the essential elements of Jazz and World Music. For their original music they draw inspiration from a wide variety of music genres, such as most Jazz styles, finger-style acoustic guitar music, Waltzes, Tangos, Funk, the Blues, Folk music from the Middle-East and France, as well as some popular styles and more. Experimentation, creativity and skill are a few of the key ingredients in this mix.
