Last year Zulu Rose designed the shirts and trousers that Keziah Jones wears on stage, this year we’ve been commissioned again.  More shirts, trousers, prints, and now designing his stage back drop.  But you might be asking yourself “Who in the world is Keziah Jones.”  Maybe the name sounds like a gospel singer, or maybe you’ve never heard of him!

Keziah, is the original Captain Africa with a rugged guitar style, amazing vocals, a smart style of dressing, and a mash-up African style that is a good combination with the Zulu Rose..  His music is called Blue Funk, a fusion of American and Nigerian funk (think james brown x fela kuti) with the texture and melancholy ambience of ‘DE BLUES.’  You got it.  Get it. Good.

Check out these videos and get ready for his music. His new album, NIGERIAN WOOD is a real gem!
