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.
