Makatumbe & Emersound

In the organizer's words:

The essence of samba, rap, maracatú, afro-beat, pop, funk and reggae - this is EMERSOUND, created by the charismatic Brazilian thoroughbred musician Emerson Araújo. He began his musical career as a percussionist at the well-known samba school "Vai Vai", which has won the São Paulo Carnival several times. Although his music is rooted in samba, it is very individual, free of genre boundaries and full of "suingue". Emerson Araújo combines traditional rhythms with modern hip-hop and popular Hispanic music styles to create his EMERSOUND - an urban and extremely energetic mix of samba, reggae, rap and funk: music that thrills audiences everywhere and is absolutely danceable. The highlight, however, is to experience the irresistible EMERSOUND grooves as a live performance in concert. With his authentic style, charismatic frontman Emerson Araújo skillfully interacts with his audience and involves them interactively in his shows. Accompanied by a fantastic live band that he has hand-picked from experienced and well-rehearsed musicians, EMERSOUND takes you into his own world with his modern music that defies all the usual samba or Latin clichés. Makatumbe: Makatumbe put international folk, dance and pop music into the mixer and hit the dance button. World groove meets future pop. The result is something you've never heard before - that's a promise! Since winning the Creole Global Music Contest 2017, they have played numerous concerts in Germany, Switzerland, France, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Kenya and Malawi.
