Ze Spirits

ZE SPIRITS is a group of five, young, talented Tanzanian musicians from the Historical coastal town of Bagamoyo. All members of the band began performing traditional and contemporary dance and music together when they were as young as 7 years old. They learnt playing different musical instruments through close friends, and other people who were willing to share their experience with them. They borrowed instruments so as they can learn music. With such motivational and inspirational spirit in them, In 2010 they formed Ze Spirits as a band playing Afro Fusion music, the style that blends traditional African sounds/songs with other contemporary rhythms. Most of the songs tells reality stories of day to day life in a modern African society. Some of the songs are about Love, youth challenges, African culture as well as socio-politico issues.

The inspiration to their music comes from the vibes of Tanzanian local traditional dance, songs and rhythms, which are successfully blended with contemporary ideas in order to empower the groove and engage audiences (more fire!). They offer a dynamic, energetic and delightful combination of grooves and bases rhythmic trips.
