The Bahama Soul Club




























Artist:  The Bahama Soul Club
Origin:  Germany
Genre:  Jazz, Afro Jazz, Latin Jazz, Soul Jazz, Cuban Jazz, Afro-Latin-Jazz, Bossa Jazz, Funk Jazz

The Bahama Soul Club started in 2005 under the former name The Juju Orchestra.  The first single "Kind Of Latin Rhythm/Funky Nassau" and in 2006 was a huge success worldwide and got No. 1 in the German Club Charts for more than 12 weeks.  In 2008 the name of the band changed into The Bahama Soul Club for some legal reason and their first album "Rhythm Is What Makes Jazz Jazz", amazingly followed up the outstanding success of The Juju Orchestra.  The band is better!,  Really, simply great music with a colourful sound, combining Afro-Bossa-Jazz with 60s Soul and 70s Funk.
