14.01.2022 Strange times, not gigging until whenever this is over, our Africa tour cancelled for obvious reasons (we'll be back MTN BUSHFIRE, Azgo Festival, African Jazz Village and all) so we're holed up working on new things. But really good news is Agogo Records' global release of our latest album with our dear friend and mentor Mulatu Astatke, 'To Know Without Knowing'. Really digging working with Agogo Records, hope you dig the sounds.
13.01.2022 So great full to be able to receive and share this award with everyone, thank you all for the support. BJX will be preforming this Sunday for our usual end of year party, hope to see you then, if not we’ll see you on the new year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
