the art of the moment / the best african conga player in europe / the power of fertility dance / music of the spheres / clear improvisation

‘Good Juju’ means healing, transcendent energies in Nigerian tribal cult. ‘Good Juju’ can be born and transferred between people by music, by dance, by a fetish bringing good luck... Juju Live Act was founded in 2007, as a result of our rovings in the world of ‘body, soul, and rhythm’. In this world, the burning energy of African drums is embraced by the swaying melodies of various blowing instruments, rolling electronic clouds, and fertility dance expressing our tribute to Mother Earth. Each concert is clearly improvisative and is created by the moment. We would like to give you these moments, and a lot of ‘Good Juju’ at our performances.

The creators of Juju Live Act:

Sándor Fekete-Kiss: composer of the Music of the Spheres

In his contemporary world of music, electronic tunes, sounds and rhythms create a unique harmony, ending up in wavering atmospheres roaming between dynamism and meditation. In this world you can find patterns of African, Oriental, Indian, Tibetan, Hungarian, jazz and free experimental elements. He is the founder of the Music of the Spheres project and ‘Hangdala’ singing and music courses; writes music for contemporary and Indian dance theatres and also works as a composer for musicals, movies, international events and conferences. Sándor is the teacher who is able to awake the music from all his students with great dynamism and intent belief.
