Umbaji: Where Groove, Innovation & Passion Meet

Umbaji is a fusion of powerful melodies, rich harmonies, daring improvisation, and deep grooves—a unique blend of emotion, energy, and creativity unlike anything you've heard before.

The project is the brainchild of Jonas Wall, a seasoned musician known for his work with Nils Landgren Funk Unit and Mezzoforte. After decades of collaborations with some of the finest artists in the world, Jonas formed Umbaji—a handpicked collective where creativity and innovation are at the heart of the music.

Each member brings their own unique voice and artistry to the group, and together they shape a sound that is bold, expressive, and always evolving.

To my incredible bandmates: Thank you for your creativity, your energy, and your soul. This music wouldn’t be what it is without you.

Umbaji means creation and creativity in Swahili.
