Band Members

::MARS:: this ROCAT is propelled by some medicines, but also by U2, Coldplay, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, MeShell Ndegeocello, Martina Topley Bird, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, Billie Holiday, The Beatles, Amy Winehouse, Res, South, Kanye West and many more. Among other, this especific literated being has the characteristics of sleeping, watching soap oprahs, sleeping again, writing and saying somethings like poems,... and also does the vocals and backing vocals thing;

::RAZMAK:: this one is propelled by his family, friends and sympathizers, but also by Haile Selassie, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Lucky Dube, The Doors, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Rockers Hi-Fi, Israel Vibration, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, The Police, Midnite, King Tuby, Groundation, Cultura Profética, Ponto de Equilíbrio, Natiruts, Morcheeba, Zenzile, Dry&Heavy and the list goes on and on. This extremely rare individual is like a SwissArmy Knife, acting as an electrician, painter, woodworker, tattoo maker, paramedic, brewer, beat-producer, graphic designer,… and still have time to beat the drums and play some backing vocals;

::BRUNO:: we still very sorry to announce that this unknown individual is always missing his classes..mas não se bate cabeça amigo, we are looking for his info ... ;

::RASTAPARTA:: is propelled by the songs his mother sang to make him sleep, by Titio Turutão, Disney Soundtracks, Timbileiros de Zavala, Fanny Mpfumo, Miriam Makeba, Ghorwane, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Boney M, Micheal Jackson, Public Enemy, N.W.A., The Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sade Adu, Erikah Badu, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Burning Spear, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Radiohead, Porstishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Air, Zero 7, etc.. This one pretends everything in his life: pretends to be cool, to be an art director, designer, digital photographer, part-time writer, pretends to have a girl, loads of guts… however, the most disgusting thing is when he pretends to play bass guitar.

All of them bastards, together, are propelled by THE MOST HIGH!

   About The Rocats

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

ONCE UPON A TIME...

Jazz, Dub, Rock/Reggae, Afrobeat and a lot of positive energy.

All mixed and well balanced with a strong lyrical content gives this band of four cats the hability to freejazz, improvise and rock while you travel in their sinergic and interactive live performance.

This is the story of a group of friends that shared the same passion for music since their early ages. They decided to create a band as a way of relaxing, learning and enjoying music together.

The band started playing in some venues in their hometown (Maputo) along with the most international reggae band from Mozambique (340ml), and often with some of the heavy weights in town like Ghorwane, Kapadêch and Rockfellers.

After some changes in their formation (Marina came in as the Lead Vocalist), the band recorded a Demo Disc (non comercial) with the purpose of doing some experiments with the newcomer.

In 2007 they performed at the OPPIKOPPI Festival along with some friends and special guests.

Currently they are looking forward to perform in a stage near you.
