The Zaramutas

It’s not often that you come across bands such as The Zaramutas. A raving amalgamation of styles and intentions that has you both listening closely to the nuances of the enthralling vocal delivery, as well as the inventiveness of the arrangements, all the while finding yourself brandishing your falsetto and air guitar skills. Rock, R&B and Fusion have gone into the band’s blender to render an intensely beautiful alternative production.

The band released their first EP in 2021 under the name ‘Christos & The Violet Crown’, receiving praise for their songwriting skills and production. Four songs, “loaded with a sense of stylistic pomp and effortlessly smooth energy”, while being “politically charged”, with themes that “delve from the personal to political with a purposefulness and poignance”.

Their first full album finds them ‘angrier’, with an extroverted sound and an urgency to communicate with larger audiences their inner thoughts and passionate cry for social justice. Their sound is a wonderful play between familiarity and improbability. Big guitar riffs and drums that have you head banging, followed by hard driving jazz fusion harmonies and lush vocals, screaming guitars, mercurial toned solos and driving grooves, will keep you rocking along for 45 minutes.

Expect to be wonderfully disorientated and masterfully guided through an intensely emotive musical demonstration!
