ZUKS & SALFA

THIS IS AN UPCOMING BAND FROM NIGERIA WHICH I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST TIME THAT ZUKS SENT ME THEIR DEBUT SINGLE "NAIJA ROCK" SOME 1YR AGO..I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING AND COULD ONLY WISH THAT THEY WOULD. FORTUNATELY THEY DID AND WEREN'T ONLY JUST PLAYING AROUND. BIGUP :))))!

THE TWO MAN BAND IS SIMPLY KNOWN AS ZUKS AND SALFA AND IS MADE UP OF:
ZUKHUMNAN EMMANUEL (ZUKS)==> VOCALS/GUITAR/PRODUCING
SALFA RIMDAP==============> VOCALS/GUITAR

THE BAND IS FROM JOS, NIGERIA AND THE BAND MATES MET IN ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA UNIVERSITY (ATBU) WHERE THEY REALISED THAT THEY SHARED A PASSION FOR CREATING, WRITING AND MAKING ALTERNATIVE MUSIC.

THEY USE THEIR DIFFERENCES TO CREATE A UNIQUE SOUND WHICH THEY CALL "FRESH AIR MUSIC"

THEIR MUSIC IS QUITE CATCHY AND SOULFUL AT THE SAME TIME. THEY HAVE RELEASED THREE SONGS AT THE MOMENT "NAIJA ROCK", "SUFFERED SILENCE" AND "KATAKO"----AT THE MOMENT AM TORN AND CANT REALLY CHOOSE A FAVOURITE. I LOOOOOVE THEM ALL!!!!
