"These Italian troubadours of the sensual and sublime have set themselves one mission: to party!" – Edinburgh Jazz Festival

Get ready for an unforgettable musical experience! Coming our way is the seven-piece energy bomb known as Rumba de Bodas, who seamlessly blend musical genres like cumbia, Latin jazz, swing, afrobeat, reggae, funk, and ska with astonishing ease.

This fiery band from Bologna, which has been thrilling audiences since 2008, is renowned for turning every concert into a wild and unforgettable party. Their powerful stage presence, infectious positive energy, and unstoppable groove will undoubtedly get you dancing – even if you promised yourself you’d just listen this time.

But Rumba de Bodas doesn’t only impress musically; their lyrics are a true Tower of Babel. They sing in English, Italian, Portuguese, and French, and sometimes even incorporate expressions in the Ghanaian language Twi.

The mighty vocals of the charismatic Rachel Doe blend effortlessly with the afro-funk horn section and pulsating rhythms, creating an irresistibly infectious, almost hypnotic atmosphere.

The band has released four albums so far – Just Married, Karnaval Fou, Super Power, and their latest, Yen Ko (Gremo, 2023) – persistently pushing genre boundaries and blurring cultural lines.

With their high-octane performances, they are solidifying their reputation as one of the most powerful musical collectives on the afro-latino-funk scene, leaving an indelible mark not only on the European music landscape but also on the world stage with acclaimed performances in Asia, Latin America, and Canada.
