Fra Fra Sound

Jazz Crossover

fra fra sound

Fra Fra Sound mixes jazz, African rhythms, dance music from the Caribbean and Surinamese kaseko together with a wide range of melodies, grooves and themes from different cultures in a jazz setting. Touring the world has allowed Fra Fra Sound to blend musical styles from various traditions into their own. Professor Michael Naylor (USA) attributes that to the uniqueness of Fra Fra Sound’s sound.
