Biography

Marockin' Brass represents all musical passions of MET-X. One can hear in their music the result of a long-lasting love and a thorough analysis of (north)-African rhythms on which they layer their melodic lines that refer to jazz, contemporary music as well as to non-western musical vocabulary. The result is astonishingly fresh and sounds as if Brussels had always been a harbour at the Mediterranean sea.
The answer lies undoubtedly in the great amount of respect that is used to intertwine both musical traditions.
Hang in there for some steaming gnawa or sweaty shaabi-funk accompanied by some redhot brass that will blow the sand out of your ears. The Ghanese talking drum or Moroccan trumpet add some unexpected flavours to the whole.
Marockin' Brass is a real treat for your brain and your feet (and everything dangling in between). Their music is the anthem of the new urban nomad.
