Hailing mostly from Colombia, M.A.K.U SoundSystem makes big music that begins in traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms and ends somewhere in the punk-jazz stratosphere. Clarinet, trombone, sax, guitarra and Latin percussion supplement a rambunctious, driving rock core, creating a sound familiar enough to be danceable, but always surprising.
