Madcouch has performed the music of Brazil for 15 years, as well as composing and recording original songs deeply influenced by the rhythms and harmonies of Brazilian music.

"They've got the Brazilian spirit, and they're really doing this very well"

- Mazinho Ventura (bassist, Marcos Valle)

Founded in 1998 by husband and wife team Kym Ambrose (vibraphone) and Anje West (voice, percussion), the band created their very own niche of OzBrazilian music, and voice amongst Australian contemporary world & jazz music that is uniquely theirs.

There is simply no other band in the country like them.

When performing in Brazil, Anje and Kym play with some of the greatest musicians in the country, including the legendary drummer Marcio Bahia (Hermeto Pascoal). The lineup for their most recent tour (summer 2012/13), in Brazil was completed by bassist Mazinho Ventura, and jazz guitar maestro, Dino Rangel.
