Malcolm Joseph has been the official bass player for the world-famous singer Grace Jones for over 15 years. Malcolm co-founded the band 7th Heaven, the group made it into the Top 10 in the dance charts in 1985, and Top 50 in the national charts. In 2023 the decision was made to form a band to play the album and other material written by Malcolm, Live – so the band Malcolm Joseph and The Unquiet Peace was formed. All of these incredible and unique multi instrumentalists reside or are native to Cornwall.

Infused with psychedelic rock guitars, synths, and hypnotic rhythms like cumbia, salsa and merengue. Imperio Bamba creates a ritual for liberating the body from the sense of distance, pushing for togetherness!
