In keeping with, what has become their knack for knowing what the New York usic audience is in need of, the folks at ALMA are, again, breaking barriers and pushing frontiers with another gathering... ROCK MACUMBA proposes to fuse the traditional sounds of rock with an array of newer and less traditional, yet soulful, sounds. This is done with the understanding that this is a music that has impacted over a generation of listeners; has strummed chords in a primal place of these souls; has been a vehicle for change and awareness...all along transcending racial barriers.

In keeping with the tradition of a MACUMBA (fusion of the
Brazilian religions of CANDOMBLE and UMBANDA), this gathering
will be a fusion of sounds that will serve to create (re-create) some
of the ecstatic journeys that can be a part of a musical experience...

At ROCK MACUMBA you can expect to hear the traditional rock sounds of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, (early) Black Sabbath, The Who, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, etc....with the newer sounds of The Clash, The Police, The Bad Brains, Nirvana, Body Count, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc...
The sounds of Chico Science/Nacao Zumbi, Som Nosso, etc. mixed in with fusion jazz, funk, dub and beautiful sounds of SOUL.

It is ROCK MACUMBA's mission to move the soul and body…free the mind and heart.

So in the words of Led Zeppelin, "TAKE MY HAND CHILD, COME WITH ME"

Join ROCK MACUMBA in their musical journey to a time of peace, love, revolution...and CHANGE.
