The Mighty Mocambos

The Mighty Mocambos and their many incarnations have released dozens of 45s and several albums on their own imprint Mocambo Records and other labels – Kay Dee, Truth & Soul, Big Crown, Tramp, Légère, WahWah45s and Favorite Recordings, to name a few.
They have collaborated with musical legends such as Afrika Bambaataa, Lee Fields, Ice-T, Charlie Funk, Peter Thomas or Kenny Dope, put new talent like Gizelle Smith and Caroline Lacaze on the map, brought Caribbean steel drums to funk clubs with their alter ego Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, and have toured through all civilized parts of the continent and beyond for the better part of the last years.

Their unique style, trademark sound and skilful songwriting is loved by peers, fans and critics alike – and that’s what’s makes them shine among an armada of retro-copycats, overposlished plastic soul acts and uninspired revivalists.
The Mighty Mocambos deliver their brand of funk with blazing horns, soulful guitars, driving drums and basslines combined with an extra bit of quirkiness. When not producing records for one of their many incarnations and collaborations, the band is touring steadily. Whoever witnessed a concert will tell you about the musicality, passion, energy, humour and joy that the band loves to bring to the people.
