MAMBE&
DANOCHILANGO

Ay carumba! If you’re looking for a Latin spark to get a party started, you could do a lot worse than turning to Danish project MAMBE & DANOCHILANGO. They merge cumbia, kuduro, tribal, dancehall, balkan beats & rhythms to their unique futuristic global bass world music – full of energy and spontaneity, a rhythmic mesh of world and electronic music.The Columbian Claudia Rodriguez aka Mambe and Mexican Fernando Mora aka Danochilango are true sonic travellers who unite the rhythms of all cultures to create the world music of the future. Despite the clattering beats and electro flourishes, they frequently lean on acoustic instrumentation, giving everything a tactile, human warmth, while Mambe, singing in Swedish, English, Danish, and Spanish, gives voice to social issues and advocates for grass roots activism.

Mambe & Danochilango have played all over the world, from alternativ clubs to big festivals such as Eurosonic, Roskilde Festival and Fusion Festival. The harmonies of acustic instruments and futuristic electro-sound from Danochilango and Mambe’s stage presence make every club and stage tremble. People dancing in minutes and merge to their own world
In 2019 they released their debut album ‘Kosmopolítēs’ and promptly it received 5 out of 5 stars in the music magazine Songlines and was added in Top Of The World.

„Their musical schtick is a mad mélange of son jarocho, favela punk, reggae, Colombian gaita, Bollywood, tribal, dub … the list goes on. And on. What holds all the fusions, pastiches and quotes together is raw energy and spunky rhythm. ….  it’s a bit like being on a very fast gap-year bus ride. Where were we yesterday? Where were my ears ten seconds ago? This anti-earnest duo might repel purists and conservatives, but this is the sound of our planet when it’s partying rather than weeping over lost immigrants and burned trees. Messy, meshy myriad, manic.“

RAVIKUMA

upcoming shows: https://malavidamusic.net/events/

Ravi Kuma is a hard hitting electronic rap duo consisting of rapper Sharon Kumaraswamy and producer Aske Knudsen. A love child conceived in an abandoned container as a result of a ménage à trois between Peaches, M.I.A. and Vince Staples.

live at Roskilde Festival 2019

Their music hits a unique spot on the Scandinavian rap scene. Industrial bass lines, dusty marching beats and gimmicky top lines make up their underground music. Through cheeky and explicit lyrics they bring up tabooed and current topics from a personal, human and societal perspective. The topics are served with a well-portioned self-deprecating humor and irony but has a seriousness to it which can’t or musn’t be missed in the quirky universe Ravi Kuma operates in.

Catchy hook lines and an intense live performance means, that Ravi Kuma leaves a solid impression on their audience which only few can match. 

on stage: Sharon (MC), Aske (Beats), optional: two dancers
