340ml – A Taxijam

340ml (pronounced: three forty mil) is an African musical group who originate from Maputo, Mozambique, but are now based in Johannesburg, South Africa. They have therefore jokingly been described by some as being “Jozambican”.

The band incorporates many different elements into their music including Dub, Jazz, Ska, Afro-jazz and Reggae. It is therefore very difficult to attach the band to any specific music genre, as their style is rather unique. The music that 340ml produces is often described as having a very relaxed African-feel to it, and also strongly incorporates elements of Latin music, and to a lesser extent, Marrabenta.

Their music has also been described by Jean Barker (a music critic on “Channel24.co.za”. http://www.channel24.co.za/. ) as “sounding better than a cold beer opening on a hot day.”
