Fernwärme Open Air:
Incognito | Naturally7 | Hot Pants Road Club
Wien Energie 16.00
The acid-jazz/sweet-soul group Incognito is the brainchild of Jean-Paul “Buey“ Maunick, a guitarist and composer originally from Mauritius. Incognito’s sound is laid-back and relaxed but never indifferent. The acapella group Naturally 7 has won a wide following, especially in Europe, since the group was formed in 1999 in New York. Through acapella, they give a new spin to well-known hits. Over the years, the HPRC has progressed from straight-out mimicry to sublime interpretations of funk and soul. Their shows always take place on the “funky side of the road“ and have gained a wide following for their heated intensity.
