Tokyo Groove

Defined by its members as the “band with the groove”, Tokyo Groove has managed to combine the very best of Motown with South African legends and the latest Top 40 hits in a stylish, energetic performance that ensures that once the dance floor opens … it stays open!  Their repertoire is extensive, the talent undeniable and the performance is mesmerising.

Tokyo Groove exploded onto the mainstream music scene with their debut hit single “Get Down Saturday Night” in 2009. The track charted nationally and hit Number 1 in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, adding to the band’s phenomenal reputation and increasing their demand in the festival and mainstream circuit. 2010 ended with another hit single as “Celebration” reached Number 1 again in both CT and JHB.

This dynamic group, which started out mainly as a corporate band, has been performing at SA’s top events since early 2008, and has earned themselves a reputation for professionalism, quality and a really good party.  From their sophisticated appearance through to their versatile repertoire and overall professionalism, Tokyo Groove fast became a favourite on the corporate events circuit.

Their reputation speaks for itself with repeat bookings by top Blue Chip clients, and performances at some of South Africa’s most prestigious events and after-parties, including The Launch of The MSC Sinfonia, Emperors Summer Holiday Festival, The Vodacom Year End Party, The Nedbank Golf Challenge, The Sunshine Golf Tour, Welcoming Miss World, Bidvest, Miss South Africa and New Years Eve Party at the Superbowl (Sun City) two years in a row!

The group is headed by one of SA’s most prolific and energetic front men: Sangoma has a wealth of experience, and an astonishing vocal ability which never ceases to amaze audiences as he adapts to each and every genre effortlessly.  Having spent five years as the front man of the successful group Denim, prior to co-founding Tokyo Groove, he has had the opportunity to perform to the crème de la crème both locally and internationally.
