English
A shaken cocktail with a vibrant afro-funk base. Sounds rooted in the most diverse Afro-Portuguese music, from Brazil to Cape Verde, are complimented with Anglosaxon sounds. Mick Mengucci, has gathered up his experiences - traveling in the interior of Bahia, jazz mass in San Francisco and Santeria ceremonies in Havana - and blended them into his music. An Italian resident of Lisbon for more than ten years, it has been in this corner of Europe that he has found the perfect place to mix his "tri-continental" fusions. Using lyrics in all the languages he knows (and improvises) he tells tales of day-to-day fantasies, being soft and aggressive at once, full of rage and fondness. In 2009 he released his first album with his main project, Misturapura, and this will commemorate his deserving title of "global poet".
