Come join the celebration over the release of our new CD – Boteco!!
‘Boteco’ is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.
Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fused in to one. What a mix eh? Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2.
CD Release Parties: 10/31 Someday Lounge – Portland, OR 11/01 Cozmic Pizza – Eugene, OR 11/06 Moe’s Alley – Santa Cruz, CA 11/07 The Old Ironsides – Sacramento, CA 11/13 The Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, CA 11/21 Stage Door – Mount Shasta, CA 12/04 Harp Inn – Costa Mesa, CA 12/05 Santa Monica Bar & Grille – Santa Monica, CA ...more to come
