About Jazz à Dakar
Jazz à Dakar is based in Dakar and has 12 years of experience with weddings, galas and corporate events. A five- to eight-piece band that moves from soft jazz at the cocktail to highlife, rumba and afrobeats on the dance floor, with its own sound engineer and a set list built with you.
Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 72 hours. Prices start from 900,000 XOF.
We work in French and English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.
