Longo Longo

Longo Longo is not your average band. It is a collective explosion of rhythm, soul, and liberation—rooted in Cuban tradition (with two lead singers who grew up in Cuba) and driven by funk, Afrobeat, and psychedelia. Their sound is primal and futuristic, earthy and mind-expanding.

On stage, Longo Longo is a ritual. The concert hall transforms into a temple of groove: a dance ceremony in which the audience and band merge into one swirling body of sweat, movement, and euphoria. No distance, no brakes—just the beat, the trance, the freedom.

Imagine: a battery of drummers pounding infectious rhythms, saxophones screaming and soaring into the cosmos, a bassline dripping and pulsing deep into your core, while Spanish vocals weave fragments of Cuban folklore through the music. The result is wild and free—a hypnotic fusion of African rhythms, Cuban heartbeat, and Dutch psychedelia, powerful enough to melt your mind.

The lyrics are poetic yet raw—about healing, love without illusions, shedding old burdens, and celebrating life in its fullest form. For Longo Longo, dancing is not a choice; it is a necessity. It is the way in which body and mind find each other again. What makes Longo Longo unique is the way depth effortlessly blends with raw energy and festive ecstasy—never ethereal, always earthy. This is not an escape from reality—this is reality as it is meant to be: intense, connecting, and bursting with life.

Come to Simplon. Come as you are. Come to sweat, laugh, dance, heal, and let go.

Longo Longo is ready for you.
