Cykada

When the cicadas appear, they cause a stir, and it's hard to escape their characteristic trance of 120dB of noise and pulsations. Then the hypnotic sound disappears with the insects, one cycle ends and silence sets in, but the next is already beginning underground, where the cicadas mature and await metamorphosis.
Cykada's debut album was highly rated by BBC, Red Bull Music, Clash Magazine, Worldwide FM, The Vinyl Factory, Qwest Tv and many others.
The day before the first lockdown, the guys in Cykada had started recording their new album and with the increasing restrictions, they hid underground waiting for the right time to come back. Autumn 2023 was the best time to return with the long-awaited new album: Metamorphosis.
Cykada have forged a unique and infectious sound. By combining indie, jazz and electronic music with global inspiration from West Africa to Eastern Europe, adding rhythms and riddims from soundsystem culture and the spontaneity of jazz, we get a dynamic new mashup unlike anything we've seen before. Cykada brings together members of Ezra Collective, Maisha, Levitation Orchestra, Zurito and Myriad Forest.
