Kristina Saputo “The blues shaped my childhood, I discovered neo-soul for myself, gospel accompanies me on my spiritual journey, jazz and hip-hop awaken my ambition and musical passion, and brass music reminds me of my Austrian roots.”

The seven-piece Afro-beat jazz ensemble Katatropic from Vienna transforms the musical backgrounds of its members into a unique experience: By blending jazzy chord structures, Latin grooves, and brass with hip-hop beats and fuzz rock guitar riffs, they create a lively soundscape, fearlessly experimenting with unconventional time signatures and modes and offering the audience a fresh listening perspective.
