WELCOME BACK PARTY
Since it’s our comeback after the Summer, let’s join after the screenings to party, show that tan and network. The ‘one-and-only’ Dj ROCKY MARSIANO will join us to set the right musical tone for the evening.
Rocky Marsiano is the instrumental/beats project of the Portuguese old-school producer/MC/DJ D-Mars. "The Pyramid Sessions", its critically highly acclaimed debut album (Loop:Recordings) from 2005, with a strong jazz influence, opened doors for the project to start performing live. With the releases of its 2nd album (Outside the Pyramid) and 3rd album (Back To The Pyramid) D-Mars further explored jazz-fusion by adding elements of soul/funk and Brazilian music (his mother was raised in Rio). The fourth album "Music For All Seasons" was entirely produced in Amsterdam, where D-Mars is now living and is a tribute to his mother's Brazilian records. The album was released on vinyl only as a way to show his respect for that format and culture.
The latest release "Meu Kamba" brings a very new element to Rocky's production: music from Angola, Cabo Verde and Mozambique. Receiving a lot of international praise (featured on the top 10 best albums of 2014 on Okayafrica.com),"Meu Kamba" is a colourful journey through the great rhythms from these three African countries and has seen Marsiano take his Meu Kamba-influenced DJ sets to various European cities like Paris, Brussels and Berlin.
