Danzón El Gato

Danzón El Gato engage in a fascinating dialogue between jazz, funk and roots music. Formed in the underground hotbed of Madrid’s experimental scene, its members start from the groove in order to explore tradition. Their creative core is formed by Javier Adán and Santiago Rapallo, two craftsmen of sound, far from the spotlight but always at the forefront. They met at the beginning of this century in Zure Gura, an experimental jazz band that fused Basque tradition with contemporary sounds. Since then, they have shared a journey in projects such as Dead Capo or UMD (Unidad Mínima de Destrucción), as well as having composed experimental pieces for cinema and even the Prado Museum.
