| (English:) In 1994, borne of Saskia's multi-cultural musical experience, her penchant for experimentation, and her hopes to encourage human diversity, the Saskia Laroo Band would be the vehicle for the works of her first CD ever, "It's Like Jazz" and her exploration of the musical concepts of Miles Davis from his album "Doo-Bop". Continuing to expand her artistic vision, this project now features a multi-national personnel and a contemporary mix of propulsive music; the soul of the ages meets catharsis through driving rhythms, powerful rap, and poignant solos. |

(Nederlands:) In 1994 werd uit Saskia 's ervaring met multiculturele muziek, haar hang naar experimentatie en haar hoop op het aanmoedigen van diversiteit onder de mensen de Saskia Laroo Band geboren als manier tot expressie voor de werken van haar allereerste CD "It 's like Jazz" en haar onderzoek naar concepten, voortgebracht op sommige van Miles Davis's laatste werken zoals "Doo-bop". Gedurende het voortdurend bezig zijn met het uitdiepen van haar artistieke visie presenteert dit project nu een multi-nationale bezetting en een hedendaagse mix van stuwende muziek; de ziel van de jaren ontmoet bevrijding via pompende ritmes, krachtige rap en intense solos.
