The Hippo Brothers bringen puren Soul, Funk, Latinjazz und Boogaloo auf die Bühne. Miss Beulah ergänzt die achtköpfige Band aus Holland mit ihrer wundervollen Soulstimme und ihrer energetischen Performance. Ihre Stimme wird nicht ohne Grund mit der von Sharon Jones verglichen. Die Musiker spielten bereits in Formationen wie Juicebox, The Mighty Typhoons, New Cool Collective, Rude Rich & High Notes und Bongomatic. Gerade erst brachten sie Janet Jackson „What have you done for me lately“ als grooviges Cover heraus. Inspiriert werden sie u.a. außerdem von Willie Bobo, Sharon Jones, Marva Whitney, Mongo Santamaria, Jimmy Smith und James Brown. Tanzen wird sicher jeder, wenn diese Band loslegt.
