A gig held at The Jam Jar on Friday 17th November. The event starts at 20:00.
We are so proud to present another UK debut from an exciting emerging act all the way from Réunion island in the Indian ocean.
Kabar Jako fuse traditional Maloya rhythms, vocals and percussion with electronic textures, heavy beats and acid squelch. Having previously released his ‘electro Maloya experiments’ on Ugandan label Nyege Nyege Tapes, bandleader Jako Maron is taking the project to new heights in the form of explosive live act Kabar Jako.
This is a truly one of a kind experience to be had in Bristol.

"With Kabar Jako, it's the first time that Maloya-style electronics become a cyclone. Made for the stage, the dance, and the trance, the band gathers and sweeps everything in its path. No concessions, just passion for a raw maloya. No detours, the trio takes the highway electro at full speed. On stage, Zan rumbles his percussions, Axel embodies the voice and body of Maloya while Jako, as a good pyromaniac, throws his acidic prods. In the end, the groove is radical and accessible. Terribly exciting.”

Enter Kabar Jako’s world
Jako Maroni is no longer alone with his machines, he is back with a trio in the spirit that blows from the musical power of Réunion Island: The Kabar.
Alongside him in this new project, the dizzying percussionist Jean Amémoutou Laope (Sati, Piker, Kayamb), and the famous singer Axel Sautron (from the band 7Po) come together to make a Maloya 2.0.
In Réunion Island, the Kabar is the place and the moment where musicians gather all together for « Kraz in Maloya ». We are truly in a Kabar since the artist shares his music to « get out of the digital and feel the strength of Maloya bands », as Jako says himself.
In his studio in Saint Denis, surrounded by a multitude of electro tools, Jako Maron continues to dig his demanding path towards a sonic balance of his own.
Jako was already one of the pioneers in Rap and ragga production, then he took the freedom offered to him by machines to open his music to poets, writers and theater directors. By turning temporarily into Dj Thiburce, Jako Maron became convinced of the power of traditional Maloya, sung in mixes with deep electronic atmospheres.
Everything led him to this « Kabar Jako », who takes electro Deep into the dust of « La Kour », a Creole place which designates as much the clay in front of the houses as concrets of the city.
It is in « La Kour » where the Kabar takes place, and where the energies are shared. In Kabar Jako’s « Kour », the heavy rolling sounds of the rouler (traditional instrument) are electro but the heartbeat is organic.
