Jerboah offers an entire program of their own hand. The compositions were written by Brechtje van Dijk, Jornt Duyx and Marcos Bagianni and then polished by the group as a whole. In times of the worldwide web, fading cultural boundaries and budget flights, one can expect cross cultural music styles. Moreover, they’re inevitable. Jerboah is a shining example. These five musicians form a bridge between various traditions and genres, in such a natural way that their bridge represents an entire world by itself.
Jerboah won the Grachtenfestival Pitch 2016 in the category 'festivalthema Overbruggen', stating “he had never heard something like that before”. Yet familiar tones are for everyone to discover - a renaissance melody, African rhythm, pop refrains, punk-yells or a progressive rock guitar riff. With an entire collection of recorders, electric guitar, keyboard, vocals and drums is Jerboah a sonic lab, propelled by curiosity and imagination.
