Malavita! are a 7-piece reggae latin funk powerhouse from Devon. Bursting with fun and fresh, genre-defying grooves - Malavita!'s mission is dancefloor fission!

Malavita! (The name at least) was conjured up on 21st February 2013 whilst on a flight to Cuba.  A culmination of good friends, a love of music and a whole lot of determination set this project in motion many years before, but a chance collision of fresh blood, renewed fire in their bellies and using world music as their inspiration the group was reincarnated as Malavita! Their genre defying  sound fuses funky latin beats, heaps of percussion, soaring guitars, skanktastic bass lines, punchy  horns and soulful female vocals to create a heady mixture of original, infectious feel good tunes. 8 eclectic, fun seeking musical misfits originating from Italy, France and the Deep South (Westcountry) come together to inspire you to dance, sing along and loose your inhibitions. 
Collectively on a mission to start the party and keep the dance floor jumping with their festival strength tropical sounds. 

“Genuinely pumped and excited about Malavita! I haven’t met a band like them in a long time and I meet a lot –great 
attitude and the groove on stage is great!"- Brett Leboffski, Diplomats of Sound development agency
