Safri Duo

Safri Duo is a Danish electronic percussion duo composed of Uffe Savery (born April 5, 1966) and Morten Friis (born August 21, 1968). Initially classically trained musicians, the duo met at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music and formed Safri Duo in 1990. They achieved significant success in the realm of classical music before making a name for themselves in popular music with their breakthrough single "Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song)" in 2001, which became one of the most popular dance anthems across the globe and a defining track of early 2000s dance music.

The duo has skillfully blended elements of classical percussion with electronic beats, creating a unique and energetic sound that crosses the borders betwen genres. Their discography includes a number of albums and hit singles such as "All The People In The World" and "Fallin' High", often featuring collaborations with various artists. Safri Duo has continued to evolve their sound with recent releases like "Cynical" and its subsequent MistaJam Remix, as well as deeper projects such as "Origins" that respect their classical roots while exploring modern trends in electronic music. Their music consistently engages a wide range of audiences, boasting the ability to command dance floors while maintaining a sense of musical sophistication.
