Jamiroquai is a British jazz funk band.
The tricky name comes from “jam session” and “iroquai,” which for its part stands for the Iroquois, a Native American tribe.
Despite this comlexity, the band strives for simplicity in their music.
To achieve that, the Brits follw some rules.
Each of their songs has to pass a test: “if it doesn’t sound good with just a keyboard and a voice or a guitar and a voice, drop it,” or “it’s not brain-wrenching stuff, but it is heart-wrenching stuff,” as they mention on their website.
During their two decades on stage, the band won a Grammy Award and 25 million album copies sold all over the world.
Apart from music, the leader of the band, Jay Kay, is known for his obsession with hats.
That’s why he is often referred to as “a cat in the hat” musician.
