His blood is African, his mind is Central Jutland – and his musical expression and showmanship on stage are of such high international quality that the acclaimed BBC RADIO host Raffaella Coleman expressed: “JJ, you are an absolute star and when you blow up don’t forget about us”.

JJ Paulo was born in Tanzania, where music and dance are often a collective affair and where everyone participates. This is also the case at JJ Paulo’s concerts. Here, African rhythms are delivered with confidence, charm, humor and not least tireless energy, which results in smiles, laughter and fire in the audience’s feet. Being at one of JJ Paulo’s concerts is like getting a kiss of African culture – a culture Paulo wants to spread throughout the world.

JJ Paulo performed at KU Festival 2023.
