Sirocco is an energetic jazz & afro funk ensemble based in Rotterdam, where 10 musicians from different corners of europe - led by composer Ko Kunst and tenor saxophonist Max van Houtum - came together to blend a diverse range global styles and traditions resulting in a powerful rhythmic sound. Their lineup boasts four horns, a 5-man rhythm section and an MC that makes every corner of the dancefloor move. Being new on the scene, Sirocco has already made waves with a series of local performances that have turned many a dancefloor upside down and audiences spellbound. The compositions draw inspiration from different styles across the world, combining styles like jazz and funk with 70's afrobeat, reggae and afrocuban rhythms. At its core, Sirocco's mission is to bring people together, combining danceable energetic rhythms to engage the body and the emotional depth of the Jazz paradigm to engage the ear and mind.
