Editor's note

Jahgun's Yoruba rhythms meet Afrobeats and soul

A Nigerian collective from Lagos blending traditional sounds with contemporary grooves.

For a quick sense of their range, put 'Be With You' next to 'Good Sensi.' One's all soulful uplift, the other rides a reggae-tinged groove, both unmistakably Jahgun.

Jahgun's music feels like a conversation between generations. Tracks like 'Be With You' wrap soulful harmonies around Yoruba rhythms, while 'Good Sensi' shows how they fold reggae and jazz into their Afrobeats foundation. Their collaborations with Femi Kuti and Salif Keita speak to a sound that honors tradition without getting stuck in it.

They emerged around 2011 with their debut 'Jahgunology' on QuestionMark Records. The 'Jahgunology' album series through 2016 saw them gradually incorporating more jazz and reggae elements while keeping their core lineup intact. Songs like 'My Agony' and 'Rub a Dub' document those shifts in real time.
