After the release of their "Flesh and Bone" EP last year and a series of blinding shows, Wara are heating up the stage like never before - securing their reputation as a band whose musical talent, energy and originality will shock you, rock you, keep you dancing till the end and leave you wanting more more more. With contagious, in-your-face vocals from Congolese-Argentinean lead Juanita Euka, inspired keyboard flourishes from MD Eliane Correa, MC Murmur quick on the UK hip hop and a super tight Latin/UK mix on the rhythm section, they combine a lyrically conscious approach with exceptional musicianship.
