DESWA is a dynamic female supergroup blending Afrobeat, jazz, and groove into a sound that’s as eclectic as it is electric.

Born from a fusion of cultures, instruments, and influences - ranging from Fela Kuti to 70s Chicago funk and the psychedelic currents of Israel in 2025, Deswa brings a bold, high-energy performance wherever they play. Whether it’s a laid-back afternoon or a late-night set, their music moves the crowd and creates a space where everyone dances.

A growing presence in the live music scene, Deswa’s shows have captivated audiences at major festivals like the Red Sea Jazz Festival, Tel Aviv Jazz Festival, as well as iconic venues in Jerusalem, Haifa and Tel Aviv. Their performances are a one-of-a-kind experience, with each show bringing something new - unexpected collaborations and guest artists push boundaries and keep audiences coming back for more.

Deswa’s artistic vision thrives on collaboration, featuring guest musicians from diverse backgrounds. Past collaborations include Gal De Paz, Jenny Penkin, Stav Achai

This fall, the band will release their first EP—recorded live, capturing the unique energy of their stage performances.
