HHY & THE MACUMBAS

Variable size cast of musicians based out of Porto, assembled and conducted by Jonathan Saldanha (HHY), co-founder and member of the Soopa colective. The band have been working for the past 5 years on an audiovisual language evocative of the jazz as thought and practiced by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, making use of dub heritage strategies for unravelling the sonic field which consumes them, aligned with a fascination for the voodoo cosmology imagery, present on stage scenography and on their admirable graphic design and video work, and openly stating being influenced by the work of Ballard, Sherwood, Burroughs and Carpenter.
