The Ubangi Stomp

For ten years, they’ve been shaking up a cocktail of blues, rock and roll, rhythm & blues, and boogie-woogie—spilling their potent brew across hundreds of stages. The Ubangi Stomp celebrates its tenth anniversary with the release of “Crits,” the latest record from the Alicante-based band. It is a deeply personal album that perfectly captures the group’s artistic preoccupations, while solidifying their musical vision and signature sound.

With a powerful lineup, The Ubangi Stomp is capable of adapting to any stage, winning over audiences at major festivals within the genre—such as the Blues Cazorla Festival, Benicàssim Blues Festival, Bilbao Blues Festival, and the Barcelona Blues Festival, among others.

A deep female voice, a piano burning with a boogie-woogie rhythm, a guitar wailing the blues, an elegant saxophone, crushing double-bass lines, pure groove on the drums, and a repertoire that blends original songs with great blues and rock and roll classics—featuring tracks by artists such as Ray Charles, Little Walter, Jerry Lee Lewis, Etta James, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Little Richard, and Fats Domino—are the ingredients of a recipe that promises high-voltage energy, a wild stage presence, and a live performance so powerful that you won’t be able to keep your feet still; you’ll surely wear out the soles of your shoes dancing at one of their shows.
