Mojo is the name associated with several musical acts, but most commonly refers to a British rhythm and blues and rock band active in the 1960s and early 1970s, or to various contemporary groups and solo artists using the moniker in blues, funk, and indie contexts. The British Mojo was rooted in R&B, blues-rock and beat music, drawing on American blues and rock'n'roll influences and featuring guitar-driven arrangements, energetic live performances and a focus on tight rhythm sections. Acts called Mojo typically emphasize groove, improvisation and vocal-driven songcraft within blues, rock or soul traditions, and the name is widely used across different regions and periods by artists working in those styles.
