BONGOMATIK JAZZBITS
Afterwards: DJ MOODFOOD
Erwin Hoorweg aka Schier Zaagsel fender rhodes, Kim Hoorweg aka Helga Zaagsel vocals, Alberto Caicedo aka Beto vocals/trombone, Gianna Tam aka Gia Tamor vocals/percussion, George Pancraz aka Jorge Cruz trumpet, Thomas Hilbrandie aka Tom Cruise guitar, Mick Paauwe aka Mika Ella bass, Jens Kerkhoff aka Al Siniterio percussion, Arend Niks aka Aguilar Niente drums
Cheerful, sunny, danceable: that’s Bongomatik in a nutshell. The nine-piece band plays funky Cuban soul with a nod to everything that was hip in the 1950s and 60s. Trends such as Bombay Boogie and Desert Grooves are included in the mix as well. It’s a public secret that Mika Ella, Aguilar Niente and other colorful band member names are aliases of well-known soloists from the Dutch jazz scene. ‘Easy-going cheerfulness, tons of energy… tight and swinging grooves’ (Jazzism).
