Jamiroquai is an acid-jazz band formed in London in 1992. It’s led by frontman Jay Kay, the band’s best-known and only remaining original member. Early Jamiroquai records were known for the use of a didgeridoo, played by Wallis Buchanan.
The name “Jamiroquai” is a portmanteau of “jam session” and the Native American “Iroquoi” tribe. Jay Kay’s interest in Native Americans can be seen clearly in the video for “Too Young To Die.”
As of January 2017, Jamiroquai is:
– Jay Kay
– Derrick McKenzie
– Sola Akingbola
– Rob Harris
– Matthew Johnson
– Paul Turner
– Jim Corry
– Malcolm Strachan
The group’s 7th album titled Automaton was released on 31 March, 2017, nearly 6,5 years after the release of Rock Dust Light Star.
