Catalounge blends to some new kind of loungy, dubby, electro and danceable style of what we call Electro-Mestizaje.
Spanish rap-lyrics, livedrums and loops, effects, funky guitars and a booming bass: Certainly one kind of special underground boy group.
Placed in the cosmpolitan Barcelona with origins from all over the world, the 6 very different musicians have been playing together for almost one year.
Not long ago, Gambeat, Manu Chaos and Mano negra's bass player got to know Catalounge, was fascinated and since then supports them within his own musical network.

Band History:
In April 2006, their first EP came out: "Home". Taking in consideration the different heritages of the players (South America, Europe, Africa) the title "Home" seems somewhat ironic. On a deeper look, their music and the mix of cultures just defines for them the current centre of their lifes: where to relax, where to come to, where to feel right, home.

Anything else...?
Their liveshows are great entertainment: They start with dubby, loungy soundscapes, rise the tention with disco-like funk-tunes and put the audience in extasy with rocky and cross-overy intoxicating songs. Don't miss the chance to see them live while they still play in little clubs!
