Ojos De Brujo + La Troba Kung-Fu
21 November - 1 December 2009
Barcelona's hip hop flamenkillo collective and one of the most exciting live bands around present their new Cuba-infused sound from their new album Aocaná. Dynamic singer Marina is a compelling figure, and the passionate virtuoso flourishes of the band have to be heard to be believed. We have teamed them with La Troba Kung-Fu who are at the leading edge of the remarkable musical mestizaje (fusion) that continues to emerge from the barrios of Barcelona. Led by singer and accordionist Joan Garriga, heavily influenced by cumbia and rumba catalana, seasoned by rock and reggae, they deliver an impassioned and electrifying live show.
"If the mark of a great band is that they make excellent albums but sound even better live, then Ojos de Brujo are indeed a great band. " - The Guardian
"Driven relentlessly by frenetic percussion this is music that can't fail to move you; live, the impressive presence of the dramatically coiffed Marina and her large band of musicians...an evening of passion and spectacle." - Metro
"An elemental force: a caravan of colour, sound and movement." - Straight No Chaser
