Mulambo Groove: A magical acousic blend of Brazilian folk/street music put to original tracks and modern arrangements. Lead by Brazilian multi-instrumentalist/composer Luciano Porto. www.myspace.com/mulambogroove

Mulambo is a no-body, perhaps scruffy from hard living conditions or simply by choice of simplicity. There are no pretentions in a Mulambo, but he may bring unfathomable experiences in his bag of tricks, enchantment and deep grooves in his body with roots clearly anchored in Africa but the head facing a future where all share the same world. Mulambo Groove brings the magic of Brazilian folklore onto the stage exploring old and modern sounds that merge into a mostly authentic and alive sound. Emerging singer-song writer Peirson Ross described Mulambo Groove?s music as ?the real thing?. Embracing the past of obscure musical traditions originated from Brazil?s unique cultural breeding ?hotspot? is the inspiration for arranging Luciano Porto?s original compositions. This results in music that is uniquely and excitingly new. The texture of instruments from ancient African and Brazilian traditions added by innovative costumes makes Mulambo Groove?s show as interesting and pleasant to the ears as the eyes and you are bound to get moving your bones.
