Omasta, a jazz quintet from Kraków, come to Alcazar Live on Friday, November 20, 2026, with their blend of jazz, beat culture and instrumental hip hop. The concert is scheduled in the hall at Via Cardinale Merry del Val 14, in Rome. The published price is 20.00 euros, with no extra fees listed, and tickets are sold on the event page of the club's website.
Omasta inhabit the territory where jazz meets beat culture, turning the lesson of J Dilla and Madlib into living, instrumental material. Their sound is warm and enveloping: deep bass and drums with an oblique groove build dense textures, over which piano, trumpet, sax and flute draw suspended melodies, at times intimate and hypnotic, at times swept by sudden accelerations. Between jazz-funk, hip hop and neo-soul, the Kraków quintet goes beyond a simple mixing of genres: the logic of sampling, looping and repetition becomes an attitude, recreated through interplay and improvisation. The result is physical, cinematic music, able to keep both the freedom of jazz and the pulse of hip hop. The atmospheres move between metropolitan tension and nocturnal rarefaction, between meditative passages and incisive grooves, with writing that leaves room for dialogue between the instruments. On their debut album Jazz Report from the Hood, released by Astigmatic Records, tradition and contemporary languages coexist without nostalgia: a restless, personal jazz, immersed in the present and shot through with the rhythm, the sounds and the anxieties of the city.
