About Me

Custom top banner code by EileenEnglish
Zafatta is an experimental monster which flirts with Metal, Latin, Funk, Rock, Drum 'n Bass and Jazz.
With exhausting live performances, it crushes anything on it's path, only to be controlled by its spiritual leaders Peter (drums) and Michiel (guitar), who make sure no one gets hurt. Both Peter and Michiel have a background in funk and have been playing together for several years. This enabled them to open for the famous Dutch bands De Dijk and Jaya the Cat as well as playing throughout the land and releasing their first, self-titled EP in October last year.
At the moment, Zafatta is writing new material and in search of musicians to complete the band, record new songs and start touring. Stay tuned!
