Mad Juana

The screen lights up at the last drive-in located at the end of the Universe. Directed by Luis Bunuel, scored by Ennio Morricone and King Tubby. Prepare yourself: it's Mad Juana in CINEMASCOPE! Six people light up the stage, seemingly exiles from six different worlds, until they hit their first note - leaving all who witness wondering how they too can apply for such alien citizenship. From another planet? Not quite. The audience is soon to realize that Mad Juana is your not-so-every-day variety of gypsies rocking across the Universe, and they were the lucky ones to bear witness. Mad Juana's sound is their own distinct hash. A blend rich with swamp blues, dub, reggae, and a dash of mariachi /flamenco- all simmered on a succulent backbone of rock that's often compared to The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. Forever captivating, the soulful chanteuse Karmen Guy seduces you into another world by way of her voodoo priestess charm, saturating a mesmerizing voice and creating exactly what you'd expect: a mix of mud & blood. The atmosphere at their live show is intoxicating and spiritually moving, with a hint of something deadly. The masterful musicians responsible for this downtown bohemian vibe include Sami Yaffa (acoustic guitar), Karmen Guy (vox, melodica & other percussion), Danny Ray (tenor saxophone), Nico Camargo (trumpet), Paul Garisto (congas & percussion), Marni Rice (accordion), Fernando Apodaca (violin), and Stephen Rey (bass). 更多>>
