The brainchild of singer Sarah Elizabeth Charles, saxophonist Yacine Boulares, and pianist Jesse Fischer AJOYO is a joyful ceremony of unrelenting groove and virtuosic improvisation. The band has a singular sound that dances confidently between genres, blending North and West African musical traditions with jazz and soul. AJOYO’s 2015 self-titled debut album was celebrated for its vibrant eclecticism and social conscience, paving the way for a sophomore album, War Chant, which earned the group an award for Best Global Music EP at the 2020 Independent Music Awards.
