Jujuba delivers a funky, danceable style of Nigerian Afrobeat and Juju music. The strength of the eleven-piece revolves around its energetic cohesion between percussion, rhythm and horn sections. Renowned for their ability to engage a wide variety of audiences, the band draws a dance floor full of smiling faces at every event.
Jujuba features Nojeem Lasisi from Igbo Ora, Oyo State, in Nigeria. He ranks among the world’s elite talking drum players. Nojeem was given his first drum at age four by his father, also a master drummer, who handed down to Nojeem its powerful language. As a member of Nigerian superstar King Sunny Ade’s group, the African Beats, Nojeem toured the world and appears on numerous recordings with King Sunny, including “Seven Degrees North” and “Odu”.
Nojeem has settled in the Northwest and assembled Jujuba from local musicians who all share a true love for Nigerian music. Their diverse experiences in a wide range of styles propel the project into new directions based on Afrobeat, Juju and traditional Nigerian folk music. Nojeem Lasisi and Jujuba have created a unique blend of African and Western music they hope is enjoyable to all.
Since the fall of 2002, the band has elicited a strong flow of positive feedback from audiences, concert promoters, festival organizers and the press. As Marty Hughley of The Oregonian puts it, “the heat and flavor was all in the groove.” The joy Jujuba shares with its audiences encourages new material, a tighter connection and a growing energy from each show to the next.

Please choose me to win tickets to this show. Because I am tired of faking orgasms and this show would bring me to true climax!
I just want to dance!
I would love to go!
If I won these tickets it would make me feel like a great bald eagle, wings spread wide, soaring high above icy alpine peaks and out across the beautiful open desert. And as I soar, I would spot a tiny field mouse which I would dive and capture with my sharp eagle talons. As the mouse struggled for his life I would slowly peck its tiny little eyeballs out. I would devour the eyeballs and move on to the brain, eating tiny bits of field mouse brain as I continue soaring, high above the deep blue lakes and crystal clear streams of God’s Country.
My boyfriend and I are broke as a joke and this would lift us up.
This sounds lively. And lovely. I’ll go, gladly.
Love jujuba!
I originally posted this below the Jujuba picture on the Facebook page…oops!

Afrobeat. Yes. Please.
The juju in Jujuba is the lucky cherry that would top off my chances with my new “sundae.”
It’s always a good time for Afrobeat.
I’m poor, but simply MUST see this amazing band at Goodfoot (my fav pub), and to see the lovely Donna drumming and dancing.
