Details:
Sprouting from the brains of Brazilian natives Alex Köberle and Emiliano Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the crossroads between the traditional music of their equatorial homeland and the punk, rock and funk influences of the US and UK. With the addition of David Gibbs on reeds and flute, Noah Waldman on drums and Jason Moen on keyboards, the group began digging deep furrows in the vast musical confluence of their upbringings and germinated original music that was ethnic and rockinâ, blending the influences of Latin American traditionalism with modern rock, funk and ska.

Named after the 70s classic Tropicalia song by Caetano Veloso + Gilberto Gil (popularized by Os Mutantes), Bat Makumba sows the fields of Brazilian drums with the seeds of electric guitars to create the wordly funk-rock-percussion sound they have come to be known for. Their eponymous first album was self-produced and self-released in 2003, and it earned the band a 2004 California Music Award for Outsanding Latin Alternative Album, and the band went on to receive a SF Weekly Music Award for Best World band in 2006.

Bat Makumbaâs latest harvest â Boteco - is set to be released in Nov 2008 and it shows the maturing of the the bandâs song-writing and recording capabilities.
Funk and rock mix with frevo, samba, baião, and maracatu to form the musical groundwork for the lyrics in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
