The passion for the music of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen has united these musicians for the pursuance of a common goal: to create a collective that mirrored the Lisbon mixture, by crossing the characteristic urban Nigerian rhythm which is [wiki:afrobeat], with the musical tradition of the African Portuguese-speaking countries and of Brazil, which have always been very present in the Portuguese capital.
Cacique..97 intend to give birth to a global soundtrack of the new times without losing the activist approach and the promotion of social awareness so fond to afro beat.
