In Nation Beat’s latest musical odyssey, traditional Brazilian rhythms intertwine with the soulful grooves of New Orleans, funk, and jazz to create a dynamic tapestry that spans continents and centuries. Each track is a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries, both geographical and temporal. Archaic Humans is a celebration of the timeless fusion of ancient roots and modern innovation.

As only could happen in today’s continuously shrinking world, Nation Beat singularly conjures up an elemental musical mojo, drawing on the wellsprings of rhythm that lit up jazz and got maracatu thundering. Archaic Humans takes off with bebop-via-Brazil drumming, propulsive bursts of New Orleans–flavored brass, and hair-on-fire jazz improvisation.  On Archaic Humans, the band lights up the afterburners to reach into fresh territory with a couple of new collaborators, too as GRAMMY-nominated progressive hip-hop/go-go artist Christylez Bacon from Washington, DC, and soulful South African voclist Melanie Scholtz braid radically new and uplifting strands into Nation Beat’s musical timeline.

 Replete with infectious beats, soul-stirring melodies, and a music-meld of the traditional and the cutting edge, Archaic Humans is an exploration of our collective heritage, inviting listeners to connect with the primal essence that unites us all right here in the present.  Dive in and let the music and history - past, present, and future - wash over you. Discover what it is to be an Archaic Human.

REPRISE

FORRÓ - FUNK - BRASS!
The heartbeat of Nation Beat’s sound lies in a deliciously original 21st century fusion between thunderous Brazilian maracatu drumming and New Orleans second line rhythms. It is also the vibrant force of their explosive live show, which is frequently known to burst into crowd-wide Carnival-style drumming and singing. Nation Beat’s audacious energy seamlessly bridges folkloric Brazilian maracatu with classic NOLA roots music attracting an ever-growing legion of fans from across a wide demographic. Nation Beat plays the best kind of fusion in the world, the kind that doesn't try to fuse anything.  An American/Brazilian collective, Nation Beat belongs to both sides of the equator.

Flamingeaux was raised in New Orleans, but the DJ was born in Miami. When the sounds of electronic dance music entered his ears, and he experienced the energy that a great house music set can bring to a crowd, he was hooked. Through his love of the music and the gathering that ensues, Flamingeaux has developed a style of Djing that gathers electronic dance music into a unique ensemble that drives a crowd crazy, keeps them wondering what's coming next, and leaves them begging for more. His turntablism focuses more on the blending of songs and transitions in between as well as the emotions evoked by simple lyrics. This new unique style of a mastermind DJ will take you by surprise, and leave you with a love for the music, the crowd, the energy, and the movement dance music has bequeathed upon the world.

You can catch The Flamingeaux playing venues in Miami Beach, New Orleans, and most recently in his new nest, Napa Valley California in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Flamingeaux is available for worldwide bookings. (Proficient in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic) (Français, Espagnol, العربية)
