福岡サンセットライヴでもお馴染み、Nontroppo（ノントロッポ）のVo&Gtボギーがオーガナイズする、福岡を代表するレギュラーイベント、Lounge Sounds（ラウンジ・サウンズ）。そのラウンジ・サウンズの年に一度のお祭がラウンジ・サウンズ・フェスティヴァルだ。 本当に多種多様なアーティストが登場する中、ラウンジ・サウンズ初登場となったのがJaaja（ジャージャ）。事前の情報は名古屋のバンドということだけ。だが、ステージに登場したメンバーに会場は一瞬でこころつかまれた。女の子の「お面、かわい〜」という声。奇妙だがどこか憎めない、動物のような怪物のようなマスクを被った4人。飄々とした『表情』で、ジプシー楽団のような、ゆるく、軽やかな音を奏でていく。途中でマスクを外したが、素顔もまた、いい表情をしている（特にVo！）。メンバーは次々と楽器を持ち替え、4人とは思えない楽団を形成していき、会場はほっこりと暖かい「Jaajaの空気」みたいなものに包まれていった。 このJaaja、ヨーロッパツアーをして、ドイツのフェスから声がかかったりと海外でも評価が高い。さらに音楽だけではなく、絵本やアニメーション、イラストや文など様々な表現活動をしているとのこと。さらに名古屋では「喫茶Jaaja」という喫茶店も経営しているらしく、ミュージシャンという枠にとらわれず、『表現者』という言葉がしっくりくる。 |
