MATRAKA LIVE

Matraka Live is a group that fuses Cuban salsa, in a modern and energetic approach, with Afro-Colombian, Caribbean and zouk sounds.

 

Formed in Paris in 2015, at the initiative of Juan Manuel Nieto, La Wey Segura and Thomas Bellon (drummer of Kassav), the group has developed a unique musical identity, blending Cuban, Colombian and Caribbean rhythms in a single festive and danceable dynamic.

 

In 2023, Matraka Live unveiled their first music video: Me Enamoré ”, a vibrant track with hints of salsa and tropical music.

 

In early 2024, the group presented " Baila Conmigo ", an upbeat track blending zouk and modern salsa, to coincide with the release of the album " Selvático ".

This album explores a wide range of sounds, from Afro-Colombian to contemporary Latin groove.

 

The group is also known for its ability to attract a large audience, particularly in Paris, and regularly performs on festival and concert stages.

 

Matraka Live has participated in events such as Le Voyage au cœur de l'été in Amiens, the Mariposa Festival in Angoulême, and has performed on major Parisian stages such as the Cabaret Sauvage and La Marbrerie during the Salsa Especial events.
