Biography

Metazon is the child of the magic, atmosphere, and emotion that have always been a part of HipHop - With roots in Funk-Jazz-Fusion (Parliament, Allaint Toussaint, Earl Palmer, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Weather Report) Latin Music (Los Jaivas, Eddie Palmieri/Cal Tjader, Tito Puente, Hector Lavoe) as well as Afro (Fela Kuti, Lafeyette Afro Rock Band, Thomas Mapfumo, Tony Allen) Metazon is a live-instrument band, burning with warm vintage sounds. A unique fusion of Latin Funk, Jazz and Hip Hop in live band, Metazon creates a sound influenced by the greatest of the past, but makes music for the future.

Each member has his own distinctive background, and it is on the stage that we can most greatly appreciate these dynamic,musical spirits. The Band consists of "el Cotola" and "Beyondah", two-experienced mc's, masters of ceremony, engaged socially and consciously to improve their community. They manipulate words, metaphors and avant-garde lyrical flows and highlight a South American and Caribbean heritage. Marco Rodi is on Electric Bass, with funk-fusion phatness. There is also Mr.Oxtail in command of classic organ, electric piano and vibraphone from the golden era of jazz. And finally, Claude Alcime, whose drumming background spans Gospel and Rhythm & Blues, fits perfectly with his exciting pace and frenzied solos.
