Carl & The Reda Mafia

What do you get when an Indian Rock n Roll singer meets an Egyptian Funk and Blues guitarist? Besides the plathora of food that’s going to be orderd – You get a music making machine that’s fiercely unstoppable. In a land and a time were funk and blues are words that rarely get tossed around, these two maniacs decided to revive the genre with “Carl & The Reda Mafia.” Abimbola (A.K.A Bimbo The Drummer )from Nigeria, who was on the verge of giving up on music,joined the scene after countless failed attempts with metal bands and the like. The 3 then became 4 when Chris (A.K.A Uncle Bass ) joined the band and after one jam session had this to say “Ok Kids, I think we have something special here “ . And there was no turning back. Carl & Reda compose music that they hope will make a mark on the musical universe of the 21st century. With songs ranging from funk and blues rock to rock n’ roll, Carl & The Reda Mafia plan to revisit, if not reincarnate, the golden era of music . Vito “The Rat “ “A rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape while running around a maze or in a wheel”. Vito (Yes, like Vito Corleone from The Godfather ) is the rat who broke loose from the rat race in search of something more. Vito represents what the band stands for - freedom and the thirst for life. The fearlessness of the rat and its ability to resist the system reflects the bands desire to experiment with the genres and produce music that will stand out from the crowd. Vito is the Bands official mascot, and is the proud face on our logo.
