Jamiroquai
2011-09-06 | Location: Turkcell Kuruçeşme Arena, İstanbul
After a long time break, Jamiroquai will be with their Turkish fans at Turkcell Kuruçeşme Arena on 06 September.
Beginning from their hometown, Jamiroquai gradually has became a well-known worldwide band and taken its place on various top-lists. The band combines house music with rthyms of 70's. Despite the changes on members of the band, Jason Kay has always remained the same as a vocal and song-writer.
With the album "Emergency on Planet Earth" in 1993, Jamiroquai got the first place on top-list of England.
"Dynamite" was released in 2005 and recorded in studios in Spain, Italy, Costa Rica, Scotland, New York, Los Angeles and Buckinghamshire which is owned by Jamiroquai.
Rock Dust Light Star is probably the band’s most adventurous and most confident record to date since their expansion on the genres seems to be a bit more obvious this time around. But make no mistake about it – it remains an example of what they do best. Funky uptempos while challenging dance music with some balance. You can’t live your life high all the time, otherwise you’re going to crash. Modern dance music definitely stands in need of that proverbial injection.
