Cucoma Combo

Cucoma Combo are back with their impetuous and political sound, an urgent need to communicate in order to awaken consciences and react to the sick immobility of our times. Captain Marco Zanotti (Classica Orchestra Afrobeat/Lolo) once again gathers his pirate crew and sets sail for new Atlantic and Caribbean adventures. From Cape Verde to Salvador de Bahia, from Haiti to Colombia, then back to Tanzania and Zimbabwe. An inspired and furious attitude incorporates disparate rhythms, languages, and styles in an original way, with even more daring and inspired arrangements and lyrics. A freedom of navigation between coladeira and maracatu, currulao and more atmospheric and evocative tropical safaris. There is no shortage of heartfelt tributes to Tony Allen's Afrobeat, the chimurenga of the legendary Thomas Mapfumo, the Afro-dub of Nigerian Obongjayar, or the more eccentric influences of Meridian Brothers.
