Nemanja is a global funk psych band that gathers members from Pula and Zagreb, inspired by 70’s Afro-Columbian, Anatolian, Thai & world music, backed by Luka Šipetić with the albums “Tarot Funk”, “Cosmic Disco” and “Voodoo Beat”. The members of the live band are Matej Perić (drums), Karlo Lugarić (percussion), Laura Matijašević (bass), Ana Kovačić (sax, synth) and Luka Šipetić (guitar).
The band is currently promoting their third album, Voodoo Beat, which brings a danceable and exciting musical melting pot with hot Afro-Colombian rhythms, Caribbean dub sounds and tropical exoticism, and is inspired by the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice – and draws its inspiration from movies like ” Orpheus” (Jean Cocteau, 1950) and “Black Orpheus” (Marcel Camus, 1959).
