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 the 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.

Cucoma Combo represent, above all, the new boiling energy of pan-rhythmic music, the awakening dance of joy, the experimental space for ambitious arrangements and free-improvised parts of colorful horns. From Black Africa to South America, one travels on paths of Congolese soukuss and Amazonian carimbò, between accents of Colombian cumbia, kalimba vibes, and tribal voices. We find seeded traces of space-funk and afrobeat, with amazing acid keyboards and an enchanting female voice. The power of rhythm and in general the whole project is led by Marco Zanotti, a multifaceted drummer and fine poly-percussionist, expert of the African and South American sound universe. With his Classica Orchestra Afrobeat, he proudly took part in outstanding collaborations with Seun Kuti, Sekouba Bambino, and Baba Sissoko, as well as a prestigious participation in the Glastonbury Fest.
