Another bumper line up of tropical rhythms and skanking global funk to tear the roof off The Hootananny once more. From Spain, Ital and France via Ireland our special international guests Mama Kasbah bring a rabble rousing mestizo blend of Rumba-Reggae, Balkan Punk, Cumbia and Ska, a global sound that moves beyond the boundaries and lyrics that speak of social themes as immigration, cultural diversity or resistance to economic globalization. Out of the flames of the SOAS Brass band come Brass Knuckles who transmit their love of Funk, Hip Hop, Balkan and global sounds through a riotous show of full powered horn led mayhem. Whilst Gecko mixes his lyrical eccentricity with programmed beats and a love of pop hooks with a hint of tropical influences. And of course Movimientos DJs keep it jumping joining the dots between latin rhythms, global bass and tropical carnival sounds.
Mama Kasbah
From Rumba Reggae to Gypsy Cumbia, the band delivers a joyful energy and a positive message declined in different languages. Their recent album features 9 original creations of the band and a completely transformed version of the song "Brigante se more" from the Italian songwritter Eugenio Bennato. It features some of the songs performed in their powerful live performance, but with a new look including news instruments, such as cuban tres, electric guitars, mandolin and latin percussions.
Gecko
'Gecko is the alias of North London based songwriter Will S-T. He mixes lyrical eccentricity with programmed beats and a love of pop hooks.
