Malavita! (The name at least) was conjured up on 21st February 2013 whilst on a flight to Cuba. A culmination of good friends, a love of music and a whole lot of determination set this project in motion many years before, but a chance collision of fresh blood, renewed fire in their bellies and using world music as their inspiration the group was reincarnated as Malavita! Their genre defying sound fuses funky latin beats, soaring guitars, skanktastic bass lines, punchy horns and soulful female vocals to create a heady mixture of original, infectious feel good tunes. 7 eclectic, fun seeking musical misfits originating from France and the Deep South (Westcountry) come together to inspire you to dance, sing along and lose your inhibitions.

Collectively on a mission to start the party and keep the dance floor jumping with their festival strength tropical sounds. Malavita! recently made it to the grand final of The Pilton stage for a set at Glastonbury. Recent highlights include an international performance at Bahrain Jazz festival, performing at Plymouth Pavilions alongside fellow Plymouth band mates “Land of the Giants”, a triumphant return to Boomtown, and being booked to play Tropical Tea Party at Hootananny Brixton.
