The world can sing together, no matter the tune! Everybody is welcome in the Casa to experience the melodies, instrumentation and songwriting found in soukous, afrobeat, highlife, makossa, rumba, reggae, cumbia, Southern blues or modern jazz.
David Byrne [“Talking Heads”) praised Casa Mantequilla’s vibrant, groovy funk as a reason to be cheerful" in troubled times. Taiwo Lijadu (Lijadu Sisters) had so much fun dancing on our music that “it reminded her of the Lagos music scene in the 80s”.
