Matatu is a commonly used word to refer to public transport in East Africa. "Miss one, then catch the next...", that's Banda Matatu. Thanks to their versatility and flexibility, the band blends Afro-Caribbean grooves with a mix of afrobeat, chakacha, and afrojazz, alongside other styles, which gives Banda Matatu its vibrant character.
Max Ravanello (the trombonist and composer from Italy) and Mike Onyango (the trumpeter and singer from Kenya) met in the Rotterdam music scene. Two trombones, trumpet, harmonica, electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums form the core of the band. Banda Matatu consists of members from various parts of the world, giving the band a multicultural mix.
