Mbrascatu performs at the Jack London

Born from the rich, cultural heart of Southern Italy and matured in the United States, Mbrascatu (mm-brah-ska-too) is the product of Andrea Algieri and some of the west coast’s finest musicians. While the music is not locked into any one regional sound, the diverse and global influences can all be heard in how Algieri organically blends styles. Thoughtful ballads, intense rock, and infectious, danceable grooves are at the core of the band’s sonic identity - coupled with Andrea’s warm, baritone voice and soloists with backgrounds in rock, funk, jazz, classical, folk, and more, the resultant sound is something not often seen in today’s musical landscape. The heartfelt messages contained within the sensitive lyrics translate across cultural and linguistic divides, and the panoramic storytelling conveyed within each song takes the listener on a journey through both, a world they know dearly and one they are just discovering.  Having performed across the United States and throughout the most beautiful regions of Italy, Mbrascatu has been welcomed with open arms in just about every language and every culture. Their four studio albums (Mbrascatu, Tempo, Elementi, and Tutto Cambia) have been received with astounding praise and their frequent live appearances are met with equal enthusiasm. Their newest album, Tutto Cambia, encompasses a wide variety of sounds,  ranging from European folk, to psych rock to Americana. The music pays tribute to the humanity we all share, and draws from the rich personal encounters that shape the world we live in.
