Fat Maggot Production represents four brass infused bands, THE REAL MACAWS, BASSCADET, SKAVOLUTION and The SKIBAND
THE REAL MACAWS
Artfully blurring the line between world music and jazz, The Real Macaws
infectious set of celebratory tunes is guaranteed to inspire a
carnival in any situation, indoors or out. From the romping rhythms
of New Orleans the Macaws take in Colombian Cumbia, Merengue, Ska and
Reggae on a trip that also visits South Africa, Europe and a fusion
of Asian Bhangra and Dance Hall.
Fifteen years of busking, festivals and involvement in a host of
events means The Real Macaws produce a live set, which is accessible,
fun, spontaneous, cheeky and entertaining.
