Ethno Fusion Party from Barcelona

SHAKATA is all about bringing the carnival to town and getting the party started!

This truly international band, with members hailing from three continents, will take you on a transatlantic dance-filled journey from the Balkan peninsula to the beaches of Brazil, and everywhere in between. 

The band formed in 2020 at Berklee College of Music in Valencia and immediately became known for their fun and funky repertoire and high energy live performances.

Drawing from the cultural and musical origins of each member (Israel, Brazil, Sicily, Argentina), the ensemble blends Balkan and Arabic influences with Brazilian and Latin rhythms, topped with a touch of psychedelic rock, to complete the signature SHAKATA sound.

It's an unorthodox and flavourful groove that keeps the party rocking!

Check out the new debut EP Turn the Night On, available on Bandcamp and on all streaming platforms.
