OZ CORPORATION

When the elegance of jazz and the spirit of rock meet the energy of hip- hop, this mixture has a name: Oz Corporation.

Guitars, Beatbox and vocal arrangements deliver a music full of inspiration, fully acoustical, and where live improvisation plays a large part .

The originality of the proposition lies in the fact that when in traditional hip- hop, a machine and a DJ are accompanying MCs , with OZ.C. all the instrumentals are made in live, vocally and instrumentally, and without any pre-recorded sounds . Live music par excellence, driven by multi-instrumentalist musicians, the quartet offers a virtuoso performance at the junction of several styles. The vocal parts, in particular, vary between jazz, beatbox arrangements for several voices, and even some lyrical style !

Led by haunting voice and incisive rap in French, English and Portuguese, inspired by artists as diverse as Saian Supa Crew, Led Zeppelin, Keziah Jones, Bobby McFerrin or The Roots, the diversity of influences and unexpected bold mix make Oz Corporation a unique project.

By asserting an acoustic aesthetic, with effective and poetic lyrics - in French , English and Portuguese, the quartet has more than 40 concerts over the year 2013/2014 (including 'La Grande Tournée Radio Nova' 2013) will play on the 'Festival des Voix du Gaou''s scene in July 2014.

After 4 singles available in digital download , Oz Corporation prepares a 6 tracks EP , entitled Invention(s) .
