Negarit Band was established in 2012 as a platform for introducing a new genre of music, which is based upon the authentic musical heritages of indigenous peoples that evolve into a unique interpretation of jazz beats and rhythms coined as “indigenous jazz”. Contrary to conventional anthropology, Negarit’s approach to meaningful knowledge and understanding of a specific society is through formal and in-depth ethnomusicology analysis of its musical heritages and the subsequent compilation of these heritages as jazz arrangements. Not only will our fans enjoy the unique sounds of our music, they will also be part of a movement for preserving rapidly disappearing musical heritages of indigenous peoples, which really belong to all mankind on it is all said and done. Remembering the fact that Africa is the “Land of Many Origins”, our debut album celebrates this fact and is accordingly titled “Origins”.
