THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS: Ghost Walk
Want a taster of the forthcoming Scenarios album consisting entirely of live recordings from German funk heroes The Mighty Mocambos? Well, here it is – Ghost Walk. Nope, not a cover of the Budos Band nugget from 2006 but an entirely different cut with the same name.

THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS: Golden Shadow / Preaching To The Choir (Vinyl 7″)
Rating: Here’s a very happy new year to you all from The Mighty Mocambos who greet 2020 in the correct way with new vinyl 7″ single Golden Shadow.

THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS: 2066
Rating: Not content with bashing out two super-dope, steel-drum funk albums (The Serpent’s Mouth and 55) since 2016 under their Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band alter-ego, The Mighty Mocambos have decided 2019 is the year to unleash yet another LP, entitled 2066, under their original moniker.

THE MIGHTY MOCAMBOS feat. Lee Fields: Where Do We Go From Here (2015)
The Mighty Mocambos return with a completely new track featuring soul man Lee Fields. It’s a slow-burn number of the kind often favoured by Fields himself but not unfamiliar to fans of Charles Bradley and those new kids on the block, Ephemerals. Man – it’s getting busy in soul city! Where Do We Go From Here, Fields might well ask. How about with a B-Boy Suite in B Flat Minor
