Muyayo Rif

MUYAYO RIF’s musical career stretches for more 10 years, and they are familiar with urban
rhythms such as punk, ska, reggae, Latin or rock. In 2007 their project underwent a profound
transforma;on, professionalizing their style, finding their own voice and a dis;nc;ve live performance. The implica;on of Gambeat (La Ventura, Radio Bemba, Mano Negra) brought great and positive doses of energy to the project; both through the production of their two albums (Construmón, 2010, Kasba Music; and P’alante!, 2011, Kasba Music). It was reflected their powerful live performance, which emphasized on the energy, the party, and the social implication– all coming from a festive and optimistic approach.

That led to winning the Festimad Taste in 2009. Barely a year aXer the release of their last album,
MUYAYO RIF came back to the scene with their third album (Maldita Comedia, 2013, Kasba Music). It demonstrated that their expressive needs were mul;plied, enriched by the previous years touring. It consolidated the band within the na;onal scene (Aupa Lumbreiras 2014, Viña Rock 2015 and 2016). AXer three years of silence… In 2017 they presented their fourth album, “ALL IN”. With this last album, the band from Cornellà has maintained its energy and groove, while redefining themselves with new sounds, experimenting with different styles such as electroswing, balkan or
disco.

MUYAYO RIF is considered one of the most international bands at the moment. Proof of it is their
constant performances in countries such as France, Belgium, Holand, UK, Russia or Switzerland,
where they play on stage in halls, as well as mass fes;vals (WOMAD 2013 in Pyatigrosk, Russia;
WOMAD 2014 in the UK; Festyland 2015 in Holland, WOMAD 2016 in Fuerteventura).
