That’s how the New York-based band MAKU Soundsystem describes its riveting sound, which mixes traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms with Afro-funk, punk, psychedelia and other sounds from around the world. While most of the band’s members are originally from Colombia, MAKU formed nearly a decade ago in New York. They came to the Democracy Now! studio in 2018 to perform and talk about their music, including their new EP “5 Fuegos” on Peace & Rhythm Records.
