There are only a few people from Italy I’ve met so far, who didn’t care at all about football. Antonio Zitarelli and Luca T.Mai of extraordinary band Mombu are among those few. Instead of following games and statistics this duo is focused on creating music of unbelievable spontaneity and energy. And guess what, Luca and Antonio are also very into… cooking!

Luca T. Mai is a saxophone player known from Italian band Zu. Antonio’s, drummer, skills we were able to observe in another Italian band, Neo. Both guys joined forces in Mombu, duo, that creates a unique musical chemistry through mixing African rhythms and jazz together. The result is mysterious, disturbing, engaging, to say least. Watching the band performing live is one-of-a-kind experience. And guys themselves are very easy-going, funny, willing to talk. We are happy, that Mombu agreed to play on 4th installment of Asymmetry Festival. Here is what Luca and Antonio had to say a few weeks before the show. Enjoy and share with your friends!
