BIO

The Magic Mumble Jumble has always been a band with a positive message and a true pleasure for life - and they seem to hit the mark!

“Don’t forget to move your body to the beat” is the message of a song that thousands of people danced to in their homes. With over three million streams on Spotify the single “Don’t forget” truly hit a nerve, became a hopeful hymn for their fans and one of the band‘s most successful songs. Therefore The Magic Mumble Jumble will take this message on a trip in 2023 to the club and festival stages, inviting you to celebrate life with them through a wild dancing session. 

The eight piece band share more than these deep experiences: the sound of their unique blend of jazz, pop, indie and folk, as well as the ability to translate their sense of connection to any audience. With his charismatic stage presence and live-to-love attitude bandleader Paul Istance is on a mission to make the shows a magic experience in which the gap between audience and band disappears completely. Armed with their eight singing voices, horns, percussion, electric and acoustic guitars as well as a huge amount of positive energy, The Magic Mumble Jumble sets out to include all the people they encounter in their journey on the road to freedom.

Since its founding the band has released several singles of which the song “Home” was featured on a Sony Compilation in 2015. These releases were followed by their live debut album “The Magic Mumble Jumble” in 2016 - an outstanding live recording that the band made in the Netherlands together with more than 60 musicians. Due to great sales it has had to be reproduced several times. In the autumn of 2017 they released their successful EP “We All Want Sunshine’’ and gave birth to their second album “Show your Love” in November 2018. The band recorded that album together with producer Tom Gelissen (Ennio Morricone, Woodkid, Armin van Buuren). In ‘2019 Burg Herzberg Festival’ asked the band to publish their live show of the previous year. This live recording of 14 songs with 90 minutes of pure energy and love is a spectacular documentation and resembles the bands strongest feature - their live show. In 2020 the German television program ZDF invited the band to perform at the ‘ZDF Morgenmagazin’. The latest single 'Don't Forget' just hit the 3.000.000 plays mark on Spotify.
