“If music had taste, this flavor would leave your mouth watering. Malcura has been serenading the assembled crowds on Bourke Street Mall at the corner of Elizabeth Street”

Malcura, the Melbourne-based flamenco sensations are to release their new album, Malcura II, on 27th November, a typically thrilling and eclectic journey through sound. Malcura have been performing their exhilarating brand of acoustic fusion since 2013, honing their craft as buskers in Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall. Combining the technical ability and passion of Flamenco with Gypsy Jazz, Latin rhythms a Rock ‘n’ Roll mentality and the odd Heavy Metal riff, Malcura have captivated the Australian public with their distinctive sound and now look to introduce the rest of the world to their extraordinary musicianship and imaginative song-writing. Driven by the dynamic and evocative lead-guitar playing of Joshua Voce and backed by the powerful rhythm section of Simon Wood (Drums) and Steven Angell (Rhythm Guitar), with Colin Andrews joining on Bass, Malcura create music for the soul; it’s a feeling as much as it is a sound.
