About Jazzamba

Jazzamba Lounge is the premiere music venue in Addis will offer a wide range of musical performance by local & int’l artists. It will feature different genres of music including traditional Ethiopian music, but the tilt is towards all forms of jazz including Ethio-jazz. The name Jazzamaba means jazz fortress- perhaps jazz music may have found a safe sanctuary at Jazzamba. We also plan to be an arts center featuring comedy nights, poetry reading, CD releases, jam sessions offering debut platform for young talents. Above all we want to give total musical & artistic experience to all who walk into Jazzamba. We will serve all our customers with utmost respect and provide superior customer service.

THE JAZZ SCENE IN ADDIS

The jazz scene is continuously evolving in Addis with many local & int’l acts on a regular basis in different parts of the city. Currently there are about ten clubs in Addis that have live musical performances on different days of the week. By moving to the old town center, namely piazza where the music scene flourished in the 50s to 70s, we feel we are contributing to the revival of jazz & other music in Addis. Jazzamba will have more local & int’l acts to spruce up the musical experience for all music lovers – it will continue to offer live performances seven days a week.
