Mama Brass

About

Mama Brass is a spiced-up ten-piece brass and drum collective, based in London, UK. Fusing influences from New Orleans, West African, and Baltic brass troupes with their own brand of grooving funk-brass action, the band delivers an energetic mix of original material and fresh twists on classic and current tunes. From Whitney Houston to Rita Ora, afrobeat to ska, threaded through with brass-funk on-stage magic, big bass, and infectious rhythm.

The band is made up of ten musicians: an eight-piece brass section plus percussion. Mama Brass has performed all over the UK for audiences of all sizes, private and public events, and has toured overseas, notably to Benin from where their music is partly inspired. Last year Mama Brass partnered with Virgin Sport to rally up runners at 10k and half marathon events in Oxford and London, running the last kilometre whilst playing (spoiler – it’s really hard). Ready for anything.
