Jagun is the band project of Eva Jagun from Germany and Manuel Zacek from Switzerland. From their shared fascination with Brazilian music and the influences from working with a wide variety of musicians from all over the world, the two gradually developed their own style. In 1995 Eva made her first trip to Rio de Janeiro. Both the rhythms as well as the language and texts of Bossa Nova have not let go of her since then. This fascination forms the inspiration for many Jagun songs. In 2011 they released their debut album My Blue Hour on the Galileo MC label. In the same year, Eva and Manuel met the Brazilian pianist Beba Zanettini. Beba was looking for artists from all over the world to realize his album project Beba Música. This is how the first joint composition Silent Wind came about. In the same year, Beba invited the two musicians to the Maifest - a German-Brazilian cultural festival in São Paulo. The contact to Brazil did not break off. Jagun was invited back to São Paulo for the Maifest the following year. The two trips formed the musical basis for Jagun's second album Camburi, which was released in September 2014. In 2015 Jagun was part of the cross-genre CD project hosted by the Rio de Janeiro-born choreographer and poet Vinicius. The song Se O Mundo É Retangular won the first prize in the German Rock&Pop Prize 2015 in the category Best Latin Song. In 2018 another invitation followed for Eva Jagun to play several concerts with B. Zanettini's band in São Paulo.
