Sugahbeat.

Send your ears on a little vacation...

Stamp your passport at a Sugahbeat show, a musical fusion that embraces a variety of cross-cultural rhythms. Top-notch musicians that are equally diverse in personality deliver it all. The result is a full-on dance session trimmed in smiles and sweat.



Be a musical tourist: Sugahbeat is refreshingly different, seamlessly blending world rhythms with contemporary beats, Reggae with Samba, Pop with Soca (West Indian for “Soul Calypso”), Latin with R&B, until the lines are blurred between them all, creating a distinctive, proprietary sound.

You may very well recognize members of Sugahbeat from accomplished Southwest favorites Azz Izz Band, Zum Zum Zum, or a plethora of other veteran Arizona based acts.

Sugahbeat paints from a palate of sophisticated grooves and textures that span subdued and soulful tracks to booty-shakin', sweat drippin', back to back, belly to belly, dance beats. More often than not the quintet fluently navigates between the two extremes, and the finished canvas always looks pretty sweet.


Groove globally, listen locally.
