This release combines a series of live actions by HHY & The Macumbas, from November 2017 in a club in Barcelos to December 2019 in an oil tank in Tenerife Island, with a June 2019 open air performance featuring Adrian Sherwood on the mix in between. HHY & The Macumbas emerged in 2008 from the cryptic SOOPA collective from Porto, a group of musicians and artists responsible for the early 00’s local experimental scene explosion. For the last decade, HHY&TM have been actively playing live with various ensemble configurations in venues, clubs and festivals all around Europe (Unsound, Primavera Sound, Supersonic, among many others). HHY & The Macumbas are a shifting musical entity where circular percussive mutations, brass riffs and electronics are dubbed by echoes in often sensory-overload live actions.
