Spanish band Eskorzo is the favourite band of Manu Chao. They play a mix of reggae, ska, rock, punk, Latin, cumbia and afrobeat with lyrics that address social issues like racism, war and poverty. The band has released many studio albums in the meantime and they have also played over a thousand shows.
Eskorzo is always in motion and offer a spectacular live show! Their music sounds like a jungle full of jungle fever-ish cumbia, rock, punk and salsa, and includes Cuban influences as well. Highly recommended to fans of The Cat Empire, Manu Chao and Gogol Bordello. In 2024, their successful album “Historias de amor y otras mierdas” (in English: “Love Stories and Other Shit”) and they played over 70 shows that year. During their European tour they will stop by at Doornroosje as well. Don’t wait too long, as last time they were here they sold out Merleyn in no-time.
