Wake Up! by Jerboah
Jerboah is as adventurous as it is addictive. With influences from free jazz, 90s pop to alternative rock, these four musical explorers weave political consciousness with a hefty dose of humour into their songwriting.
Jerboah have taken stages by storm such as Melkweg Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw van 't IJ Amsterdam, de Doelen Rotterdam, Oostpoorrt Groningen, the Platzhirsch Festival DE, Cross-Linx Festival NL, and Tivoli Vredenburg Utrecht. They won the 'Talen boven water' prize at the Grachtenfestival, and had a documentary made about them with VPRO Vrije Geluiden.
After a lockdown-hibernation, Jerboah burst back onto stages in 2021 with a plethora of new songs, now finally recorded

Not often, one bumps into a group where practically all members have different musical and cultural backgrounds. The Amsterdam-based Jerboah is such a group. Two of these four multi-instrumentalists play recorders. This, together with vocals, electric guitar, synthesizer and drums, results in wondrous art-rock. The vibe is vivacious and the sound is alienating. These are musical explorers.
