Bio
..Superstars in their native country of Mozambique, Massukos have been hailed as "the next Buena Vista Social Club". They have sold more than 80,000 copies of their debut album and their sensational secodn album Bumping - featuring jazz legends Harry Beckett and Steve Buckley - went to number 6 in the European World Music Charts..... Massukos have an enviable reputation as the country's most successful band but they are also making their mark as initiators of social change. Originating from Niassa in northern Mozambique, one of the poorest parts of Africa, Massukos speak out against the hardships that have affected their lives. Passionate about what they do, the band travels for miles to remote villages to deliver simple life-saving messages about hygiene and sanitation. Feliciano dos Santos - the leader of Massukos - is also the director of Estamos, who are involved with the installation of latrines and clean water points, as well as hygiene and HIV/AIDS education. In Aprii 2008, he was awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize, a Nobel prize equivalent for grassroots activists..... With rave reviews from their new album and from their UK tours where they have appeared at WOMAD (2007) and Glastonbury (2008), the band's success story is set to continue. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ...... .... .. ......

Club Integral CLUB INTEGRAL @ CAFE OTO - 2ND JUNE 2010 22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL www.divineagency.org Tickets available at: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/78750
BENJAMIN BRUNEL: Brunel attacks each song as a lavish mini-cabaret, archness kept in check by a touching gauche naivety: the result is too many laugh-out loud funny moments to mention. He also invents the rather nifty word “metrosexueloquence”. Fine and deliciously dandy." ***** Venue.
SEAMING TRIO: "Seaming's vocals soar & dip as they twist & turn, weaving their way around racing drum machines & over the edge heartbroken strings. I can honestly say Seaming To is in a class of her own." ***** Dean Thatcher (DJ/producer)
JACK SHIRT: "a fantastic collage of everything in the artist's head, all tumbling out and wired-up wrong. This is an album steeped in the experimentalism of Krautrock and really f*cked-up folksike, the sort of thing that would get a release in the mid-70s, leaving everyone completely confused, later to become something of a cult classic" Electric Roulette.
