This outstanding intercultural band project has been conceived for and presented for the first time at the MTN Bushfire festival 2016 in eSwatini (Swaziland) and continued with several trippy shows in Mozambique. Their pulsating urban music fusion is based on the dub style electronic compositions of POETRY IN KOMA aka ASH ISMAEL from Mozambique including reggae and rap elements, extended by the female vocal power and poetry of the fabulous singer BONGIWE DLAMINI from eSwatini and by "the alchemist of sounds", WERNER PUNTIGAM from Austria, on trombone and conch shell. Together they unite a wide range of musical elements, influences and flavours and cook their very own magical "ear food" of electronic grooves, jazzy and abstract acoustic sounds, soulful vocal vibes and poetic lyrics live on stage and make the audience listening, dance and scream!
