Over Yusufsbeat
Yusufsbeat is een 10-koppige afrofusion band uit Amsterdam.
De band, voorheen Zuluwannsago, is in 2007 opgericht door Yusuf Nuweku. De jazzy, funky Afro-groove die zij spelen met latin en reggae uitstapjes, gelegen op complexe Ghanese ritmes, werken aanstekelijk op zowel de muzikanten als het publiek. In 2014 wordt Zuluwannsago omgedoopt tot: Yusufsbeat.
Geïnspireerd door zijn geloof en levenservaring is Yusuf verantwoordelijk voor alle composities en teksten waarin op filosofische wijze thema’s als wijsheid en vergankelijkheid bezongen worden. Daarnaast komen er tevens meer politieke thema’s als corruptie en armoede aan bod.
Ondanks of juist mede door de verschillende culturele achtergrond van de bandleden predikt Yusufsbeat de enige universele taal die er is op onze planeet: Muziek, de taal die mensen verbroedert!

About Yusufsbeat
Yusufsbeat is a 10-piece afrofusion band from Amsterdam.
The band, formerly Zuluwannsago, was founded in 2007 by Yusuf Nuweku. The jazzy, funky Afro-groove they play with Latin and reggae outings, set on complex Ghanaian rhythms, are infectious to both the musicians and the audience. In 2014 Zuluwannsago is renamed: Yusufsbeat.
Inspired by his faith and life experience, Yusuf is responsible for all compositions and texts in which themes such as wisdom and transience are sung in a philosophical way. In addition, more political themes such as corruption and poverty are also discussed.
Despite or partly because of the different cultural backgrounds of the band members, Yusufsbeat preaches the only universal language there is on our planet: Music, the language that unites people!
