Nation Beat & Grupo Fantasma February 6, 2013

The American/Brazilian collective Nation Beat plays a 21st century mashup inspired by Brazilian maracatu drumming, New Orleans second line rhythms, funk and country-blues. From Forró to Swamp Rock, Maracatu and Funk - their rhythms are grounded by the musicians' own history and years of collaboration. Austin-based Latin funk jam band Grupo Fantasma has garnered critical acclaim worldwide for their adventurous albums and incendiary live shows.
