About this Event

They’re the UK’s most charismatic band, their live shows a spiritual experience uniting the crowd in free-flow jams of uncategorisable music. Think post-punk meets free jazz, with lyrics, rooted in rap, that are all about the message. Add the hair-raising sonics of ruthless breakbeats, gnarly guitar loops, transcendent sax and flourishes of psychedelic bass and you have Maruja: this is force-of-nature music, born from a place of spirituality and protest, with a deep four-way friendship at its core. Their reach is international – beloved of BBC 6 Music, they’ve just stormed SXSW, Sold out their first ever North American tour. Having played 24 countries in 2024, this May they will be hitting Japan and China. Now signed to Music For Nations, the band are currently putting the finishing touches on their debut album.
