The Mighty Mocambos has been played on NTS in shows including Prosumer, featured first on 15 December 2013. Songs played include Calling The Shots, Working Woman (Kenny Dope Version) and Concrete Stardust.

The Mighty Mocambos and their many incarnations have released dozens of 45s and several albums.

They have collaborated with musical legends such as Afrika Bambaataa, Lee Fields 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.

The Mighty Mocambos continue to 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.

What started out years ago as a take on “deep funk” and its associated vinyl culture has completely grown into its own oeuvre d’art.

The Mighty Mocambos‘ recent album “Showdown” (2015) sets yet another cornerstone in their prolific career as a globally active instrumental funk outfit. While maintaining their organic approach of recording real musicians live on tape, the group has refined their trademark sound with a dramatic edge, a hard hitting production and ventures into less obvious musical territories, with a diverse list of special guests ranging from German film composer icon Peter Thomas to hiphop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.
