Groovy sunshine beats and virtuosic jazzy horns come together in Sunbörn (formerly KutiMangoes), in an innovative, global sound that bridges cultures. The band has released 5 albums, won 4 Danish Grammys - most recently for best live band - and their welcoming music has found listeners around the world. Their music moves elegantly through the boundaries of jazz, fusion and global music - incorporating acoustic, hand-played equilibrism, jazzy arrangements and modern electronic sounds.
On Sunbörns latest album they join forces with acclaimed Italian producer/DJ Clap! Clap! (Paul Simon, Warp) for a boundary-blurring new album “Earth is Begging”. Releasing on on UK label WahWah45s, the project is a vibrant celebration of global culture and sonic fusion with guests such as Dele Sosimi (UK/NG), Carolina Lelis (BR), and Etuk Ubong (NG). The album has been very well received with regular airplay on BBC, JazzFM, DR, Worldwide FM France, Polish National Radio. In spring 2026 the project will take the music on the road.
