ABOUT
Africanizing and groovalizing nightlife with global grooves from the Urb'n'Jungle: afrobeat, ethiogrooves, Afro-Latin & Afro-Brazilian, soukouss, Lusafrican, reggae/dub/dancehall & hip-hop with an ethnic/regional flavor.
A mocambo or quilombo was a refuge in the forest for liberated slaves in colonial Brazil. My Mukambo is the asylum for those who want to escape the pop/rock/electro dictatorship, a place where you can be free & dance to the Afro-grooves. Emancipate yourself from commercial music. Come & join Mukambistan, the People's Republik of Groove!
