Jiripoca Band

About Me

In Brazil, Jiripoca means "exploding mouth" or "master blaster", in the language of the Tupi Indians.

Jiripoca was born in 1995 from the meeting between two Brazilian guys, Célio Mattos and André Luiz de Souza. It's a band with very musical strong personality, composed by musicians came from various geographical and cultural horizons (South America, North Africa, Europe...), this diversity is the base of their richness, their grace and musical originality.

The Jiripoca Band's music is made up of original compositions, poetic lyrics, and unheard of rhythmic Molotov cocktails and soothing beats: samba-funk and samba-ragga, xote-reggae and baião-rock, afoxé-mambo, cyberjazz samba-de-roda and macumba-groove, all that and a lot more! What comes out the other end of this musical alchemy is a mind blaster and a body shaker, African and Brazilian, Latin American and Caribbean, Rock and Soul and Jazz, and JIRI'S POCKET POKER POCA!!! A cosmic sound orgasm!!! Each concert of the Jiripoca Band is a natural eruption, a volcanic lava flow of free feeling, a Carnaval of itersidereal rhythms, a pelvis public dance ritual where spectators take part in loco out of sight out of mind.
