Vasco Da Gamba - folk funk? Latin reggae? Afro-celtic soul with a hint of arabic? No-one is quite sure how to pidgeonhole the music of this quartet (including the band themselves) but then perhaps to try is to miss the point. All that is certain is that the song-based music produced by this combination of vocals, mandola, percussion, electric double bass and soprano sax/bassoon is different from anything you have ever heard before. Open your mind and your ears.....

"VASCO DA GAMBA is the name of a band which plays unusual music, a funky fusion of Celtic, Latin, Arabic, reggae and jazz. Featuring a virtuosic quartet comprised of electric bass, mandola, West African drums and trumpet/French horn, plus vocals by the band's leader (in a swirl of languages), the band lit up Sweet Ego's venue on Picardy Place, beating out an hour's worth of infectious, toe-tapping melodies."
