Jamiroquai: Jamming for Almost 15 Years
Jamiroquai is a British disco/funk/dance/acid jazz band from the United Kingdom. The leader of this popular band is singer Jay (Jason) Kay. The other members of Jamiroquai are: Rob Harris (guitar), Derrick McKenzie (drums), Paul Turner (bass), Sola Akingbola (percussion), Matt Johnson (keyboards), Lorraine McIntosh (backing vocals), Hazel Fernandez (backing vocals) and Sam Smith (backing vocals). The name “Jamiroquai” derives from the combination of the name of a Native American Iroquois tribe that Jay admires because of their philosophy and the word ‘Jam’ (as in musical jamming).
In 1996, this band began their ascension to fame when they released Traveling Without Moving, their third album. Songs like “Cosmic Girl” and “Virtual Insanity” made them famous in the American market.
