An artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American/European spices. Funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.
The brainchild of Brazilian natives Alex Koberle and Emiliano Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the crossroads between the equatorial beats of Brazil and the punk, rock and funk influences of the U.S. and Europe. Locals to San Francisco, Bat Makumba's show is a hip renegade carnaval party full of tropicalia tinged ska, punk influenced forro, and rock infused samba.
Since their debut in 2000 Bat Makumba have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base throughout the West Coast. Winners of a California Music Award for Best Latin Alternative Album, Bat Makumba have been hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of Five Latin Bands to Watch, winner of an SF Weekly Music Award for Best World Music Band, and their debut album was named one of the Best Records of the Year by the East Bay Express.
Incorporating the varied influences of horn player David Gibbs, keyboardist Jason Moen and drummer Noah Waldman, Bat Makumba's live show brings together an international palette of musicians and instrumentation (including accordion, zabumba, megaphone, clarinet and alfaia). Named after the 70s classic Tropicalia song by Caetano Veloso + Gilberto Gil (popularized by Os Mutantes), "Bat Makumba" loosely translates to mean the mixing of Brazilian traditionalism with international pop culture.
Don't miss this kinetic, percussive music... join the renegade carnaval party that is Bat Makumba!
O encontro de dois Brasileiros e um Norte-Americano, foi o processo catalisador de uma nova era musical nos EUA com a música Brasileira.
Vocalista e guitarrista Alex Koberle, percussionista Emiliano Benevides e o baixista Carl Remde conseguriram transformar Bat Makumba, um projeto musical e embrionário no ano 2000, em uma banda de suscesso e carisma na região Oeste dos Estados Unidos.
Bat Makumba vem transformando e estabelecendo a nova música do mundo para o mundo.
Em 2004 a banda recebeu do California Music Award o prêmio de Best Latin Alternative Album. Além disso o grupo vem recebendo indicações para prêmios e citações, nos mais diversos meios de comunicação da mídia Norte-Americana, entre elas San Francisco Chronicle, SF Weekly, East Bay Express, LA TV, Globo Internacional, Seattle Weekly, LARitmo, The Latin Beat Magazine, The Beat Magazine entre outras.
O nome Bat Makumba vem da música composta pelos Tropicalistas Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil e primeiramente interpretada pelo grupo Paulista Os Mutantes no final dos anos 60.
Como no Modernismo em 1922 e o Tropicalismo no começo dos anos 70, a banda procura os elementos naturais que cada um traz individualmente ou em grupo, e de alguma maneira destruí-los e transformá-los, é a antropofagia sendo redescoberta.
O barulho e a melodia; o caos e a harmonia estão sempre presentes em esta eclética banda. Maracatú, rock, funk, partido-alto, samba, ska, punk europeu com a porção mágica e carnavelesca do que hà de melhor no hemisfério sul e em nosso Brasil tropical.
Os músicos David Gibbs ( sax/ flauta /clarinete ), Jason Moen ( teclado ) e Noah Waldman ( baterista ) completam o scretch de ouro, a seleção Bat Makumbeira de futebol.
Os shows ao vivo estão sempre cheios, a energia que vem do palco é super contagiante e a atmosfera consegue levar as pessoas em um transe total e prolífero.
Carl Remde and Alex Koberle proudly use GHS

The music of this group, whose members derive from four countries of South America and from California, will awaken in you the magic and wonders of the manifold cultures of the Americas. Using indigenous instruments and contemporary forms, they sing of the struggles, the dreams and the resilience of the peoples of these lands.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
