Cordaviva is a 9-piece powerhouse of dance music influenced by the disparate rhythms and styles of the African diaspora.  Their upbeat original music is a unique blend of soukous, rumba, afrobeat, funk, and various latin styles.  Bright horns compliment sublime vocal harmonies, soulful guitars, and relentlessly driving percussion.  Cordaviva returns to ACT by popular demand after a sweat-drenched dance party last August.

 “You’ll be in for a real treat when you see Cordaviva… blending Soukous, Afrobeat, and Reggae gives [them] an unexpected edge in the local World music scene and completely sets them apart…[they do] a fantastic job of combining sax, trumpet, percussion, guitars, keys and vocals all while giving each instrument their own spotlight.”
