The Amsterdam-based group Son Swagga is a fusion band in every sense of the term. The music of this nonet is a psychedelic blend of Afrofunk and spiritual jazz and even contains musical elements from video games. On top of that, the group itself is a mix of creative tastes with members of Jungle By Night, Nachtdienst, Gallowstreet, and Kauw in the lineup. In all their songs, Son Swagga uses improvisation to push boundaries and they are never afraid to overstep them. The final result produced by this experimental, wonderful mix of artists is a sound that is familiar yet cannot be defined. Under the fiery leadership of keyboardist Felix Back, with a rock-solid rhythm section and horn section, the band truly comes into its own on stage. You won’t be able to stay still when this neofunk machine hits its stride.
