Wafa Wafa is a Nguni phrase; it’s English equivalent would be “Do or Die”, or “Now or Never”. The band thought that this would be an appropriate name; it embodies the spirit with which they approach the music they produce. Band members are all friends who enjoyed experimenting with African sounds that they thought would make their way back into mainstream Jazz. The band’s music still has its classical jazz roots even though they keep their ideas fresh and relevant, and promote their original compositions. They say their music is inspired by all the sounds around them and define it as Afro Jazz Fusion.
