Cacao Mental

Cacao Mental is a psychedelic electro-cumbia band from Milan, Italy. Cacao Mental's live show is a tribal ceremony of technological animism, a wild and immersive party, an acoustic experience built by extensive use of improvisation and artificial sounds that rig soundscapes as rich as the jungle: a shaman's voice over the hammering of the electronic grooves, around trumpet themes and lysergic guitar twangs; suggestions, explicit homage to mariachi, cinematic quotations, pure psychedelic rides, and pop culture references that have replaced the allegories of the primitive man in the subconscious of modern man. Every Cacao Mental show is a unique performance; it is a cumbia state of mind.
