Bring the energy of a world-class global music adventure to your next Corporate Entertainment, Wedding, Themed Event, Private Function, or Festival with Nicky Bomba’s Bustamento—a dynamic ensemble known for their infectious rhythms, vibrant personalities, and world-travelling musical flair.
Fresh from two years performing across the globe, Bustamento return with their exciting new album, Intercontinental Journal 7, a colourful journey through international sounds, grooves, and cultures. Expanding from the Caribbean influences of their ARIA-nominated debut, the band explores new musical landscapes—perfect for audiences who love upbeat, joyful, and immersive entertainment.
The album blasts open with the effervescent “Fez in Fez,” launching listeners into a whirlwind world tour. Tracks like “Caretaker” and “Rise Up” pay homage to the group’s reggae and calypso roots, enriched by the unmistakable shimmer of steel pans. The first single, “Back Again,” blends Motown soul with Calypso charm, while “We All Make Mistakes” layers Pacific ukulele vibes over deep rhythmic grooves. “Josephine,” inspired by the legendary Josephine Baker, brings a jungle-syncopated pulse, and “Glasto Mud Shuffle” rides a swampy New Orleans boogie.
Bursting with energy, humour, and creativity, Bustamento’s multicultural sound makes them an unforgettable live act—ideal for Festival stages, corporate gala dinners, wedding receptions, tropical-themed events, and any celebration seeking world music flair with a fun, contemporary twist.
As the album’s notes describe, the musical journey includes:
Mediterranean moods topped with a playful Fez
Byron Bay boogaloo infused with African horn fire
Glastonbury groove stirred with New Orleans soul
Jamaican reggae hipsway draped in Trinidadian spice
Mexican romance kissed by Middle Eastern desert dust
Parisian tap-dance spark with a wild rhythmic edge
This is vibrant storytelling through sound—perfect for audiences who want entertainment that is unique, uplifting, and culturally rich.
Led by the charismatic Nicky Bomba, the band’s long-time camaraderie fuels the joy behind every note. Having performed together across projects including Bomba and the Melbourne Ska Orchestra, their on-stage chemistry creates an atmosphere that engages audiences of all ages.
As Nicky shares:
“There were no rules—just creativity, joy, and a chocolate-fountain of ideas. We’ve experienced so much together that the music flowed effortlessly.”
Complete with beautifully designed, retro-styled artwork featuring the band as cartoon adventurers, the album is a celebration of imagination and musical storytelling.
