Biography

Saxafabra is the sound factory in which 4 saxes, 4 percussionists and 1 tuba join their forces to create some musical mayhem. A multitude of styles (traditional music, jazz and contemporary music) are used on their assembly line to concoct a rather intriguing and complex style of dance music. The saxes surprise with their unorthodox groove: they accumulate their riffs over rhythms that seemed to have been picked up by the percussionists as some venereal infection in the greasy ballrooms from Brazil over Warsaw to Tangier. The combined sounds of pandeiro, krakeb and bendir leave you puzzled about the geographical origin of this music. The tuba on the other hand provides the necessary backbone in the whole.
Open air or on stage: Saxafabra will make things happen.
