“无比美妙的Afro作品——这就是所谓经典。”
——《Gaffa》杂志（丹麦）
“这是近年来将深度放克（deep funk）[1]与尼日利亚风格融合的最佳呈现。”

2013年，The KutiMangoes成立于哥本哈根，这支六人编制的非洲节奏（afro-beat）[2]/灵魂爵士（soul jazz）[3]乐队在短时间内便取得了迅猛的发展。在与西非布基纳法索歌手Patrick Kabré进行了非常出色的合作之后，乐队签约德国放克/非洲节奏传奇厂牌Tramp Records[4]，随后发行了首张专辑《Afro-Fire》。该专辑在国际评论界广获好评，并在全球多个电台热播，包括BBC、德国巴伐利亚广播、奥地利FM4电台、德国Radio X电台和美国WNYU电台等等。乐队在欧洲进行了大范围的巡演，足迹也遍布西非和以色列，期间，他们还获得了四项丹麦格莱美奖提名，并赢得了其中的“最佳世界音乐专辑”奖项。
The KutiMangoes的音乐灵感源自于Fela Kuti和Charles Mingus，以及非洲的传统音乐。乐队成员包括三名铜管乐手，两名鼓手，以及一名键盘手，他们喜欢随心所欲地在乐器中自由切换，无怪乎布基纳法索“Jazz à Ouaga”音乐节的艺术总监Abdullaye Diallo这样评价他们：“非洲音乐与欧洲音乐难得一见的成功统一，棒极了！”
[1] 深度放克（deep funk）：放克音乐的一种，它不像传统主流放克，有着更深情、原始、粗糙和厚重的声音。
[2] 非洲节奏（afro-beat）：一种融合了加纳传统highlife音乐、爵士、放克和人声咏唱的音乐风格，通常包含不同风格的打击乐与人声演绎，70年代盛行于非洲。
[3] 灵魂爵士（soul jazz）：一种吸纳了布鲁斯、灵魂乐、福音等元素的爵士风格，通常由小型乐队演奏。
[4] Tramp Records：是德国最小型但最放克的厂牌之一。他们发行新乐队的作品，也会重新发行质量极高的罕见放克、灵魂或爵士乐作品。
“Sublime afro-release – what classics are made of”
-– “Gaffa” Magazine (DK)
“The best merger of deep funk[1] sharpness with Nigerian styles in recent years”
-– dustygroove.com
From 2013 when The KutiMangoes was formed, things have happened quickly for the 6-piece afro-beat[2]/soul jazz[3] band based in Copenhagen. Starting with a unique collaboration with Burkina Faso vocalist Patrick Kabré, they signed with legendary German funk/afro-beat label Tramp Records[4] and subsequently released debut album “Afro-Fire”, which has received international critical acclaim and radio airplay on BBC, Bayerische Rundfunk (DE), FM4 (AT), Radio X (DE), WNYU Radio (US) and many others. In between receiving 4 Danish Grammy nominations and winning “Best World Music Album”, The KutiMangoes have toured extensively in Europe as well as Western Africa and Israel.
The KutiMangoes takes their musical inspiration from Fela Kuti, Charles Mingus as well as traditional African music. Three brass players, two drummers and a man at the keys skillfully switch between the instruments, in what artistic director of Burkina Faso’s “Jazz à Ouaga” festival Abdullaye Diallo termed, “a rarely successful unification of African and European music. Fantastic!”
[1] Deep funk: A genre of funk music which, unlike traditional mainstream funk, has a more soulful, rawer, grittier, and “heavier” sound.
[2] Afro-beat: A combination of traditional Ghana music, jazz, highlife, funk and chanted vocals, fused with percussion and vocal styles, popularized in Africa in the 1970s.
[3] Soul jazz: A development of jazz incorporating strong influences from blues, soul, gospel in music for small groups.
[4] Tramp Records: One of Germany’s tiniest but funkiest labels. They release new bands, but also re-issue quality rare funk, soul and jazz too.
