Mako Sica

Mako Sica was a Chicago group built around Przemyslaw Drazek and Brent Fuscaldo, who played long-form, mostly acoustic improvised music that drew on jazz, folk and psychedelia. The band began as a trio with drummer Michael Kendrick and later became a duo that recorded several albums with percussionist Hamid Drake. After the album Formless, the pair renamed themselves Drazek Fuscaldo out of respect for the Lakota Nation, whose name for the Badlands of South Dakota is mako sica.
