Saskia Laroo Band
About The Saskia Laroo Band
The Saskia Laroo Band, a musical journey that began in 1994, is a testament to Saskia Laroo's rich and diverse musical background. With a deep-rooted passion for experimentation and a mission to celebrate human diversity through music, Saskia Laroo brought this band to life.
This vibrant ensemble served as the canvas for Saskia's first-ever CD, "It's Like Jazz," and her exploration of the musical concepts of the legendary Miles Davis from his album "Doo-Bop." Over the years, this project has evolved into a multicultural powerhouse, featuring a diverse and international lineup.
The Saskia Laroo Band is all about contemporary music that pulses with energy. It's a fusion where the timeless soul of music encounters the cathartic power of driving rhythms, compelling rap verses, and heartfelt solos.
