The Excitements, ou yeah!
As every year by the Mercè festival, independent music lands in Barcelona: comes the BAM.
This year is overloaded with good options to use up the last warm nights in the city.
The Excitements is our selection. We have been able to enjoy of them in Barcelona, as ??they are from here … Yes, from the very city of Barcelona, ??though they could be from Memphis, Chicago or Detroit. Koko Jean Davis is the voice, and what a voice! The vocalist, from Mozambican origin, is the perfect mix between Tina Turner, Etta James and Betty Davis. And the band exudes Funky and R & B with a master’s like the best 7 of Stax or Motown.
A small sample is this version of “wait a minute“ by Barbara Stephens.
