afrosambafunk: When funk, samba, afrobeat, jazz and rock merge.

Delta Nove is a six-piece band out of Long Beach, California that has been committed to the evolution of music since its inception. Never satisfied to lock into one pre-conceived genre, Delta Nove constantly explores the synthesis of sound and texture, much to the delight of audiences all over. Drawing from a deep pool of diverse instruments and musical training, the group fuses many styles into one funky powerhouse that gets the crowd rocking!

Delta Nove's four CD's: Fiya Bahlin', Signal Hill, Delta Nove, and the latest Deep In The Compound, display their talent as a team of songwriters and musicians, as well as an ambitious drive to self-produce their albums. From straight-up FUNK with a capital F, to traditional Brazilian batucada drumming and afrobeat styles, the record displays a dazzling assortment of musical artistry.

World-renowned artists such as Poncho Sanchez, Burning Spear, Olodum, Gato Barbieri, Merle Saunders, King Sunny Ade, Ozomatli, Roy Hargrove, and many more have added their unique talents and influence to the group's on-stage work. In addition, its members have performed with great artists such as Santana, Grateful Dead, Bruce Hornsby, Bobby Caldwell, Los Lobos, Fishbone, champion Brazilian samba school Mangueira and many others.
