Jambarolo was founded by Louis Robinson, founder of Sheep Music favourites The Destroyers. "Jambarolo is fresh and fun. Jambarolo is saxophones forever, Maracas, Cuicas and Cavaquinho, Forro Samba Choro Siria! We are coming with the joy and the bounce, with the swing and the sing, lift the gloom dig out your broom and slip on your dancing shoes!"
