For the past 10 years Marco Cafolla has fronted the award-winning Federation of the Disco Pimp who had a BBC One residency and toured the world sharing a stage with the likes of Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Grandmaster Flash and Sister Sledge.Last year CAFOLLA began writing his debut solo record ’Cowboys & Africans’ and after a successful crowdfunding campaign it's set for release later this year via Dusty Reel Records. The first single ’1985’ was released last month retaining all the FOTDP goodness, disco, funk, soul, psychedelia and some jazz influences but with more politicised lyrical content. CAFOLLA has already gained support from Amazing Radio, a Track of the Day from Jim Gellatly, Fame Magazine, Middle Tennessee Music, Contact Music and the official video also had a live screening at last weekends’ Outwith Festival in Dunfermline.
