Baba Bruja
Baba Bruja are an all original 12-piece Afrobeat Dance Orchestra based in nipaluna/ Hobart. The ensemble consists of some of luturuwita/ Tasmania’s best loved jazz and funk musicians and features the original compositions of non-binary bandleader and trombonist Stevie McEntee.

Baba Bruja has become known for infectious melodies, rhythmic drive and extended dynamic solos that really take the band and listeners on a sonic journey. Their music, while firmly rooted in the musical traditions of Afrobeat, incorporates elements from many different musical cultures from around the world.

Formed in 2017, the band have performed across lutruwita/ Tasmania at festivals including Dark Mofo, Falls Festival, A Festival Called Panama, Taste of Tasmania, Party in the Paddock, MONA FOMA and Clarence Jazz Festival and can’t wait to rock out for this very special Festival of Voices set!
