Delta Nove was born in a garage in Long Beach, California. They have put in some serious work since their first independent release in 1998, leaving a trail of deep funk, thunderous Brazilian drums, greasy horns, and psychedelic exploration wherever they go.

Delta Nove was born in a garage in Long Beach, California. They have put in some serious work since their first independent release in 1998, leaving a trail of deep funk, thunderous Brazilian drums, greasy horns, and psychedelic exploration wherever they go. After over well over 1000 shows and years of national tours, 8 independent releases, and years of musical evolution, the band has truly developed into a singular powerhouse of sound and rhythm.
Delta Nove fans often call the sound of the band ‘world funk,’ a mixture of a psychedelic funk rock concert, Brazilian Carnaval, and Mardi Gras. Or, as one fan said, ‘it’s like Funkadelic got lost in the Amazon jungle.’ Funk, rock, samba, afrobeat, reggae, jazz, electronic escapades; these are all ingredients in the D No sound. Delta Nove’s most recent full release, Imaginary Conversations, is a reflection of that mash up of sounds. On this album, for the first time, the band enlisted outside help from legendary producers, including Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton) and Bruce Witkin (Adam Ant, Warren Zevon). Also, special guest George Clinton (of Parliament Funkadelic fame) joins the band on the track titled ‘Boom Bop.’
