MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST AND ONE-MAN BAND WITH INFECTIOUS DUB AND REGGAE
Pachy García, originally from Puerto Rico, pays tribute to the reggae pioneers he grew up with. Starting as a guitarist, he discovered his love for early Jamaican music, which led him to transition to piano, bass, and eventually self-taught drumming in Los Angeles. As a multi-instrumentalist and one-man band, he blends South American rhythms with dub and reggae, singing in the Puerto Rican dialect on several tracks. His music takes you back to 1970s Jamaica, influenced by dub engineers like Scientist and King Tubby. This spring, he will release a new album and bring it to Utrecht for his only show in the Netherlands during his headline tour.
Support: Cocobolo
Cocobolo feels like playing outside in your living room. According to the band, their music sounds the way children think: playful, free, and full of imagination. Inspired by artists like Menahan Street Band, Orions Belte, and Yussef Dayes, the three band members create their own diorama on the album Consider It Done. A world where palm trees grow at the North Pole, and where surf rock, ’60s soul, and ’90s hip-hop come together in Cocobolo’s modern vintage sound.
